A new Sam Roberts album is due at the end of May, which means that I'll be having a suitable soundtrack for backyard keggers and horseshoe tournaments.

The first single is "Them Kids", available for my listening pleasure at Sammy's Facebook and Myspace pages.

Yeah, I'm loving it too. They debuted some new stuff at the Winter Classic in Buffalo, which I remember sounding awesome as well ... I'm pretty stoked.
I wouldn't say I was disappointed with Chemical City - there was some real quality shit on that record. But you're right, it was no We Were Born In A Flame.

Not really feelin this single. Thought chemical city was pretty cool though.

Anyone heard the new album yet? It was released on Tuesday.

Sounds pretty good after the first listen. Parts of it sound like the same old thing, and parts of it sound like something completely different for Sam...often within the same song. Some cool jams on this record too.

I must say thanks for yet another artist I'm totally digging from you folks posting on RM. You guys are fucking cool. :thumbsup:

Awesome music. He must be from Canada, correct?

The lead guitar-work is better than he is.

Pete Yorn + The Strokes = Sam Roberts.

Anyone curious about Sam Roberts needs to go and immediately download We Were Born In A Flame. I absolutely ADORE that album.

And don't feel bad about downloading it ... like the lyric in Them Kids says -

I can’t sell my songs so I’m gonna have to give ‘em away
I can’t sell myself since my hair started turning to gray

If nobody listens
then who’s gonna hear?
If nobody listens
will we disappear?

I loved We Were Born In A Flame, didn't really enjoy Chemical City. I'm gonna download this one tonight for sure.

I've spun the new cd a couple of times now

and I'm still a fan

Finally picked this up today.

Straight-ahead rock without being cliche or predictable. Nobody knows how to throw a gentle-yet-bouncy jam in the middle of a song like Slammin' Sammy Roberts. This album satisfies like a steak dinner.

Who's the female singing with him on Words & Fire? I don't have the liner notes.
