Beloved Canadian rockers The Sheepdogs return with their brand-new single ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘, a warm, mid-tempo rolling slice of guitar-driven rock, anchored by frontman’s Ewan Currie’s double-tracked, reverb-washed vocal and carried by rich harmonies and a driving groove. Tracked live-off-the-floor, the single crackles with the unmistakable energy of a band capturing lightning in real time. The song is the latest offering from their forthcoming full-length album of the same name, ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ arriving February 27th, 2026. via their newly minted label, Right On Records.

Built around twin guitars, huge riffs, soul, and Ewan Currie’s unmistakable voice. A perfect storm of toughness and tenderness. With echoes of the swagger of Thin Lizzy and the heart of Tom Petty, ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ showcases the band at their most immediate and instinctive.
Currie states “We’re all trying to weather the storms in our lives…finding shelter, love, hope. This song is about that search, and the belief that rock ’n’ roll can still be a sanctuary.”
Currie describes the title track as the album’s conceptual and emotional anchor. He wrote it imagining the kind of clear, powerful voices — Chris Stapleton, Chris Cornell — capable of carrying such a direct melody. The lyric “I got to find another home”, reveals a lifelong preoccupation. After more than two decades of songwriting, Currie admits he still can’t shake the theme. Home remains a question mark, a horizon line, a moving target.
The ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ LP marks the beloved Canadian rockers’ first release since the departure of longtime drummer Sam Corbett. For the new album, the band enlisted the help of incredible guest drummers and friends of the band including JUNO-nominated Trevor Falls, Adam Hindle (Dwayne Gretzky, Born Ruffians), Steve Kiely (Golden Feather) and Jordan Murphy (Walrus, Adam Bladwin). The new single ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ features drummer Dani Nash who plays in the band July Talk.
The album’s first single, ‘Nobody But You‘, jumped to #11 on Active Rock and #13 on Billboard Mainstream Rock.
The upcoming album follows a tremendous year for the band. In 2025, The sheepdogs completed a sold-out cross-Canada arena tour supporting Bryan Adams, released two successful companion EPs, ‘Paradise Alone‘ and ‘Hell Together‘, and launched their own label, Right On Records. The band also appeared in Bryan Adams and Friends: A Great Big Holiday Jam, a one-hour holiday special featuring festive performances by Alessia Cara, Alan Doyle, Barenaked Ladies, Lights and more.
Two decades in, The Sheepdogs have found that rarest thing: momentum. ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ is the sound of a band that refuses to stand still, refuses to repeat itself, and refuses to let the weather dictate the course. It is loud, warm, hopeful, guitar-forward, and full of heart.
This is the band’s first full-length since 2022’s JUNO-nominated ‘Out of Sight‘, and the follow-up to 2024’s companion EPs ‘Paradise Alone‘ and ‘Hell Together‘. Those EPs explored introspection and emotional turbulence. ‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ is something else entirely. It’s a rock and roll shelter, a reminder that storms come, but guitars turned up loud through a pair of 100-watt Marshalls can still be a refuge.
‘Keep Out Of The Storm‘ doesn’t sound like reinvention, it sounds like affirmation. Though this chapter marks several transitions, the first full-length since drummer Sam Corbett’s departure and the first full-length release under the band’s label Right On Records, The Sheepdogs don’t abandon their roots. They simply sharpen them. The riffs are bigger, the jams looser, the vocals warmer, and the band’s sense of purpose clearer than ever. This is a working band’s record, made between tour dates, living in the small details, trusting the moment.
A band in motion, weathering change, turning up loud, and finding light in the noise.
