Come March, I will begin work on my 3rd studio album. It will be different, as planned. I mean, why bother putting out new stuff if it's all gonna sound the same, right? True. Well anyway, this album will be treated far different from the rest. I will be cataloging its progress consistently through videos, web posts and audio clips either here, on a blog, or on my Facebook page, or all three, who knows. As well as giving you a lot to look at and listen to before the album is even completed, I will also try to create a video and a download for whatever single is to be released off of the album before its official release. This album has become necessary now, not in just the need to put out new material, but as a labor of love, a distraction, and a focused form of hope and faith...We all know life takes its fair share of unexpected twists and turns. Some for better, some for worse. And needless to say, this is something I feel will "bring balance to the force" as it were, and point everything in the direction it's meant to go in. This album hasn't even begun yet, and already I have accumulated more material for this record than I had for the past two combined, and then some. The question now is, picking the ones to record, and then out of those, picking the ones to put on the record. A long process for sure...but I of course will keep everyone posted.
Take care, and I'll talk to you all soon.
Love, Matt

Hey everyone! So, tomorrow night is our D-Sides Holiday Show at the Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ. We are all very excited to play, and I personally am going to be there with our sound crew and stage crew getting a lot of pre-show stuff done nice and early. (Whoopie!) ALSO, I want to let you know that if you CAN'T come, tomorrow night, we will be streaming the show live online, starting at around 9/9:30pm. A link will appear here on the site tomorrow morning, along with directions of how to watch. A phone number will be here two, so that if anyone wants to hear a certain song, you can text it in. I hope to see most of you there, but regardless, I hope you enjoy the show whether it be there in person, or online.
Love, Matt

So many of you know that I am doing a lot of things lately, whether it be toying around with reworking old songs, attempting to write new ones, write a "rock musical", play shows, expand the band, so on and so forth. I'm really excited to keep working on all of my projects and trying to make cool things happen. The one thing I'm excited about right now is the Holiday Party on December 30th. Lots of my great musician friends will be there playing as well, and it will also act as sort of a belated release show for my newest record. In addition to playing a lot of stuff off the albums, I will be debuting a few new, unreleased songs as well. I'm pretty excited, and hope to see some of you there. It's going to be a great time.
