Characterized by a straight-ahead alternative rock sound,
the Doughboys formed in Montreal in 1986. Signed to Pipeline Records just six months later, the band released Whatever one year later. After three subsequent albums (1988's Home Again, 1990's Happy Accidents, and 1992's Something's Gone Wrong), they signed with A&M and released
