“When I left the theatre after my screening, I had The Hip blasting on my headphones for the commute home - a clear sign of a music doc well done.” - Exclaim! Magazine

“The Tragically Hip cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting, creative, and original bands of the rock era with their full-length 1989 debut album Up to Here. The Hip's new multidisc Up to Here box set chronicles the trajectory of a young, hungry band ready, willing, and fully capable of spreading their wings and flexing their muscles together in the studio at a top-shelf level. No Dress Rehearsal, The Hip's perfectly named four-part Amazon Prime documentary series, is a no-holds-barred insiders look at a band of brothers who collectively captured the boots, hearts, and minds of an entire nation, then went out and shared their infectious aural vibes and indelible grooves across the world as one of the very best bands ever to take to the live stage. However you choose to experience The Tragically Hip, your eyes and ears will be endlessly rewarded Up to Here, there, and everywhere.”  - Analog Planet
