School of Hip

Up To Here 1989 - Side A with Podstar Sean McGinity


Listen Later

This is where it really starts.

In this episode of School of Hip, the show hits a turning point as Chaz and Heath—joined by Sean McGinity—step into Up To HereThe Tragically Hip’s 1989 major-label debut and the record that changed everything.

This isn’t just a new album. It’s the moment the band locked in their sound, their voice, and their place in Canadian culture—on their own terms. The conversation moves beyond origin stories and into identity, momentum, and the choices that shaped what The Hip would become.

It’s part music, part culture, part fan perspective—sharp, opinionated, and intentionally unfinished. If you’ve been waiting for the episode where the stakes rise and the story accelerates, this is it.

School of Hip has entered the Up To Here era.
