Shaking the Foundations is the fourth studio album by the Toronto new-wave band Rough Trade. It was released in 1982 and became a hit in Canada in 1983, spending 21 weeks on the charts, peaking at #9 in February, putting it at #1 on the CANCON listing. The only standard single release from the album was "Crimes of Passion" b/w "Endless Night", which peaked at #18. Both this and the title track were included on the 10-track 1985 greatest hits album Birds of a Feather: The Best of Rough Trade. "I Want to Live" b/w "Numero Fatale" and "The Sacred and the Profane" was released as a 12-inch picture sleeve disc. "Endless Night", inspired by the Operation Soap raids of 1981, served as the theme music to the 1982 documentary film Track Two.
