Sam Roberts Band are celebrating a major milestone. The Canadian rockers’ second studio album Chemical City has been certified platinum, selling over one million copies. To celebrate, the band has announced a 15th anniversary edition of the album. It will be released on August 13, 2021.

The special anniversary edition comes completely remastered and contains four previously unreleased songs. Together, the songs form a collection called “The Lost Side”. “Fall Before You Finish”, “Major Minor”, “The Cathedral” and “Step Aside” will be available on August 13.

Speaking on the album, Sam Roberts explained that, “Somewhere in all of the chaos of creating the album, a few of the songs were left behind. Either unmixed, unfinished or lost… Chemical City was released in 2006, ten songs and one blank side and has lived that way ever since.”

He continued, “the truth is that there is a fourth side with songs and characters that complete the story. These songs are Major Minor (previously unreleased), Fall Before You Finish (previously released as a bonus track, now remixed and including missing tracks), The Cathedral (previously unreleased, was lost and found…) and Step Inside (previously released as a Japanese single, now remixed including missing tracks).”

In addition to the reissue, there are also plans for a physical release of the remastered album on coloured vinyl. Pre-order yours here.
