The Rovers 2020 release, “Saints And Sinners” is their most autobiographical album to date. The previous album “Up Among the Heather - The Scottish Album” reflects the Scots influence on their Northern Irish roots.
Canada has been home to the Rovers since its inception in the early 60s. Millar says, “It’s been a bit odd, being from both Ireland and Canada. Some fans have found it confusing as well, asking where we’re from. At times I’ve felt like a man with no country.” This lead to the song “Band Without A Country” from their 2020 album “Saints And Sinners” which tells the story from Ireland to Toronto and beyond, See VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ly4ubkByY7k
