Canada’s rock n’ roll messiah, Sam Roberts, joins us for the second time on The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss his latest album, The Adventures of Ben Blank, what it was like for him writing from the perspective of a character, how the songs chronicle himself and the character, and why the song “Bad Country” in particular is so special to him. We also talk about forming the band, Anyway Gang, with members of Sloan, Hollerado, and Tokyo Police Club, the 20th anniversary of his acclaimed debut album, We Were Born In A Flame, tour planning, favourite venues, and Canada’s Men’s National Soccer Team.
