William Peter Randall (born November 27, 1964, in Barrie, Ontario) is a Canadian musician and municipal politician.

Their debut self-titled release was produced by Ken Greer of Red Rider fame at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga and released in 1994.

Randall's travels and humanitarian work have led him from Israeli Kibbutz to Goa, India seniors homes, animal shelters and kindergartens and Nicaraguan schools outside Managua, where he worked as a volunteer with The Canadian Light Brigade.
