Legendary rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive is making a long-awaited comeback with their first new material in over 25 years. The Canadian group, known for their iconic hits such as “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” and “Takin’ Care of Business,” is back with a new single that is sure to get fans excited. In an exclusive interview, guitarist and founding member Randy Bachman reveals the inspiration behind their comeback single and how it all came to be.
After a long hiatus, the band reunited in 2018 for a special performance at the Winnipeg Classic RockFest. The response from fans was overwhelming, and it reignited the spark within the band to create new music. “We were blown away by the reaction from the crowd at the Classic RockFest,” says Bachman. “It was like we never left. That’s when we knew it was time to get back in the studio and make some new music.”
The result of their reunion is their latest single, “Rollin’ Along.” The upbeat and catchy tune is a perfect representation of the band’s signature sound, with driving guitar riffs and powerful vocals. “We wanted to create a song that would make people feel good and want to sing along,” explains Bachman. “It’s a song about perseverance and never giving up, no matter what obstacles come your way.”
The lyrics of “Rollin’ Along” were inspired by the band’s own journey and the challenges they faced throughout their career. “We’ve been through a lot as a band, both personally and professionally,” says Bachman. “But we’ve always kept going, and that’s what this song is all about. It’s a reminder to ourselves and our fans to keep pushing forward and never give up on your dreams.”
The music video for “Rollin’ Along” features footage from the band’s early days, as well as recent performances and behind-the-scenes moments. “We wanted to pay tribute to our journey as a band and show how far we’ve come,” says Bachman. “It was a nostalgic experience for us, and we hope our fans will enjoy it as much as we did.”
The single has already received positive reviews from fans and critics alike, with many praising the band for staying true to their classic sound. “It’s great to see Bachman-Turner Overdrive back and sounding better than ever,” says music journalist, Sarah Johnson. “They’ve managed to capture the essence of their music while still bringing something fresh to the table.”
For Randy Bachman, the return of Bachman-Turner Overdrive is not just about making new music, but also about reconnecting with their loyal fan base. “We’ve been fortunate to have such dedicated fans throughout the years,” says Bachman. “We owe it to them to give them something new and exciting, and we hope they’ll be proud of what we’ve created.”
In addition to their new single, the band is also planning a tour to celebrate their comeback. “We can’t wait to hit the road and perform for our fans again,” says Bachman. “It’s been too long, and we’re ready to rock out with everyone once more.”
As Bachman-Turner Overdrive takes care of business with their first new material in over 25 years, it’s clear that their passion for music and their fans is as strong as ever. With “Rollin’ Along,” the band proves that they still have what it takes to create timeless and uplifting music. And for fans, it’s a reminder that the spirit of rock and roll never dies.
