Michael interviews solo artist Jack Adamant about his new album "Obscure Places & Cupboards".  A great collection of guitar driven rockers that call to mind The Get Up Kids, Say Anything and older indie stalwarts like Husker Du and Dinosaur Jr.   Jack is definitely influenced by J Mascis and particularly Sebadoh.  They discuss the recording process during Covid-19, primary gear that was used, songwriting inspiration and plenty more. Cheers!

Bio: Jack Adamant is a singer/songwriter from Italy who lives and records in Stockholm. His solo career began around 2012 when he started writing songs that were heavily influenced by American artists such as J Mascis, Lou Barlow, Evan Dando, Bob Mould, Mac McCaughan, Robert Pollard, Daniel Johnston and others from the same music scene.
