Stereo Embers The Podcast 0498: Brad Merritt (5440)
About this episode
The episode features an interview with Brad Merritt of the Canadian rock band 5440 discussing their new album Porto and the band's enduring legacy.
Porto" Over their nearly twenty-album history, the Canadian outfit 5440 have proven themselves to be one of the most enduring rock and roll bands of all time. Their career highlights are numerous, so bear with this partial list of their achievements. They've been nominated for 8 Juno Awards, have had #1 singles and Gold albums in Canada, had their song "I Go Blind" covered by Hootie and the Blowfish and have toured all over the world. The band's new album Porto is the perfect addition to their fabulous discography. Filled with melodic crunch, introspective lyrics and some of the catchiest songs of the year, Porto reinforces the power and enduring quality of this legendary band. The partnership and friendship of singer Neil Osborne and bassist Brad Merrit is the secret to what makes 5440 tick and this chat addresses that and a lot more. This is a great chat and Brad couldn't be a nicer guy, so enjoy this conversation. www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + THREADS + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
