new single, Jan ’21

Got an album out in April, and in the run-up to release am putting out 3 singles.  The first, Something That Can Help, is due Friday 29 Jan.  It’s been aired on Dexter Bentley’s Hello Goodbye Show on Resonance 104.4 FM – listen here… & Radio Reverb’s Pete Jones Show – here.

There’s also a review up on Plugged in Brighton: “It’s a cliche to talk about singers who wear their hearts on their sleeves but in Matt’s case, you can add all the other major organs”.

True, that.  Have an advance listen, see if you agree.


Guitars? Who Cares – gig with band, Brighton 8th Oct

So I’m playing at this all-day celebration of noise on Sunday, with bass and drums and a loud electric guitar again.  We’re on about 6pm, but I can recommend arriving earlier: check that line-up.

5 quid, 11 bands, 9 hours of mind-smashing volume in Brighton’s best, most dimly-lit venue.  Sounds like heaven to me.
