In 1991, they released their debut album, Shakespeare My Butt , on Page Publications . The album featured songs they had already performed and toured for several years as Popular Front. Hawkins’s songs were filled with lyrics about Marxism and the Spanish Civil War , but also contained many references to Toronto landmarks like the Don River , Bathurst Street , and his local pub, “The Only” on Danforth Avenue . The album became one of the best-selling independent releases in Canadian history, selling just short of gold status, and was later named one of the ten greatest albums in Canadian music history by the music magazine Chart .
