Free Download Of The Week: Sam Roberts Band

sam-roberts-band

In the spring of 2016, Canada’s Sam Roberts Band went to The Bathouse on Lake Ontario to record their sixth studio album TerraForm. “Terraforming is the idea of going to another planet and making it viable for humans,” says Roberts. “For this record, I saw it as planting the seeds for that same sort of renewal in your own life – that regardless of how much you have broken the parts of your life along the way, there is always a chance to start over.” Download “If You Want It” from TerraForm and learn more about the Sam Roberts Band at their Official Website, “Like” them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
