It goes like this: millions of records, a couple dozen hits, sold-out coliseums across Canada, a Juno Award for Band of the Year. The Vancouver Sun called them "Canadian rock heroes of the first order ... the best performing band in Canada."

The great reviews continue. In 2009, Peter Assaff of The Northern Light hailed Ra McGuire and Brian Smith as "the Canadian version of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards" and Joel Rubinoff of The Record wrote, " ... this frolicking, rollicking showcase for McGuire's soaring pop melodies and whimsical wordplay is arguably one of the biggest Canadian bands of all time."

"We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)", "Raise a Little Hell", "The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar", "Two For the Show", "Pretty Lady" "Good Ol' General Hand Grenade", "Round, Round We Go", "Santa Maria", "Janine" ...
- a few of the Trooper hits that, according to writer Ryan Sparks, "have weaved their way into the fabric of this country like no other bands have been able to do.
Tune into any radio station from Vancouver to St John's and you're bound to encounter one of their dozen hit radio anthems that are still featured in heavy rotation to this day."

Trooper's ten studio albums have earned multiple gold and platinum awards and their 6 X Platinum greatest hits album, Hot Shots, remains one of the country's most enduring party soundtracks.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Trooper has become a Canadian legend. They continue to perform their huge collection of hits with the vitality and sense of humour that has served them well on their steady march through the hills and valleys of Canadian Rock and Roll.

2010 will see the band celebrating their 35th anniversary.
