more ink & air for “Dead Artform”
So the single’s getting more play – listen to Dead Artform on:
Alternative Frequencies Rock Show
…And here‘s a review from Backseat Mafia: confrontational and “propelled by Finucane’s commanding delivery and lyrics that bring a colourful sense of irony to his vision of the shadowy AI dystopia the world is moving towards” – see if you agree.
Pretty soon there’s an album, too…

Dead Artform single: first reviews
trust that doc(ument)
Three reviews for Dead Artform and some radio play in prospect… Not a bad haul.
Joyzine says: “a bravely paradoxical take down of the song format”
The Other Side: “you like the excitement and the mischief it exudes”
Trust The Doc: “packed with energy and intent”
Yeah, a good start. And it feels good to play this game once again. Anyway, check them out and have a listen to the single, see if you agree… Verify!
Dead Artform: new single out today
Eyeless Records just released the lead single from my upcoming album (out in time for Halloween)…
It’s a “furious focused laser beam of punk rock!” according to them, and who am I to argue. It’s been a long time on the horizon for lots of reasons, never quite materialising but always just… over… there… And now, suddenly, it’s here.
Enjoy x
Released today: Run With the Freaks
26 July ’24: Run With The Freaks is released by Eyeless Records on all streaming platforms. The EP it’s taken from will follow in late September… Enjoy x
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.
Perilous Seat vid exclusive
The video of Perilous Seat can be seen exclusively via Pure Grain Audio, here. It’s a DIY epic of indifferent miming, lurid colours and general dislocation – every penny’s up there on the screen. Hope you enjoy… If not, you can claim back the 3min 47sec of yr life from me at a gig, with this handy token:
gig / studio session / new single: pix
So the gig went well…
…and three days later, we went into the studio to record as a band – which also went very well (more on that later)…
…but meanwhile, there’s a new single coming out next month:
Due 8 March, accompanied by a video (one of my no-budget, lo-fi specials) – link to follow.
…
Halloween GIG of inspired madness
be afraid
Got no idea what to expect – here’s a link.
It’s At The Coach House, and therefore will be mental & beyond… Also ties in neatly as a celebration of Lilith coming out.
…And as an exaltation of the evil spirits of the unclean dead rising to destroy the living, of course. All good wholesome fun.
Kind words from Shindig Magazine, radio play & GIG
recommendation indeed
Shindig Magazine had some good words for Lilith – see above.
Doing a free gig in Brighton tonight at Molly Malone’s for StrungOut Music. Onstage early, 8:30ish, which means I’ll probably still be sober.
You can hear Lilith on RoundSound Radio – looks like a good show, all kindsa stuff going on. That’s from 8pm this eve.
Finally… got a nice (brief) write-up from SupaJam, complete with Soundcloud link.
So that’s 3 different ways you can check out the song for yourself, since I’ll also be playing it live: have a reckon.
