Matt Weedon from TORS joins Adam for a lively, heartfelt chat about the classic musical comedy The Blues Brothers. Find out why this wild, joyous movie was a defining moment in Matt’s creative journey and how its blend of music and chaos still shapes his songwriting—and TORS’s energetic live shows—today.
TORS are a British indie folk trio from Devon, known for their harmonies, big hooks, and live shows bursting with joy and singalongs. Recently signed to Glassnote Records, their new EP Songs From The Road Vol. 1 drops July 24th, and they kick off a major world tour this August.
Directed by John Landis and released in 1980, The Blues Brothers stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues, two brothers on a musical “mission from God.” Packed with musical legends like Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and James Brown, and featuring unforgettable car chases and comedy, the film is a cult classic loved for its unfiltered fun, iconic soundtrack, and celebration of blues and soul music.
The Spark Parade is a podcast that dives deep into the films and albums that have inspired today’s creative icons. Hosted by Adam Unze, each episode features a unique conversation with an artist about their chosen film or album, and how it sparked their artistic journey.
