E133 Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace)

Singer-songwriter and frontman, Raine Maida, of Canadian alt-rock trailblazing band, Our Lady Peace, joins us on this Virtual Series episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss their newest and 10th studio album, Spiritual Machines II, and why it needed a continuation. We talk about the future predictions by Ray Kurzweil that the albums are based on and their incredible accuracy, pre-releasing the album as an NFT, working with original guitarist Mike Turner again, the inspiration behind their lead single “Stop Making Stupid People Famous,” and how the song “Holes” relates to their massive hit “Superman’s Dead.” We also talk about the 25th anniversary of their paramount second album, Clumsy, and how it transformed Raine’s life, and his memory of Woodstock 99.
