Background notes

Archive material and source history

71 Gaps formed in Toronto in 1999 with Rik Emmett on vocals, Steve Strongman on guitar, Paul MacAusland on bass, and Greg Ellis on drums. Their song 'Kriptonite' broke through in 2002, pulling them from the underground into wider recognition. They put out albums like 'Rat Race' in 2004 and 'Our Time' in 2006.

Emmett's substance abuse and mental health issues disrupted the band's stability, and he was arrested for drug possession in 2006, which led to his temporary departure. Strongman and MacAusland carried on as a duo for a while, but the band's momentum shifted.

Emmett returned in 2008, and the group released 'Resurrection' that year. They kept playing shows, including a live recording at Massey Hall in 2010. Other songs in their catalog include 'A Year Ago', 'Away From the Sun', and 'Be Like That'.
