written by: Corey Benjamin
"Matrimony took the stage fronted by ... Boot Arreola himself. The band was created by Boot and could possibly be so experimental and artsy that they have created a brand new category all to themselves. With the addition of Rocky Caddell on drums, they rocked out a like a true metal band, only it was the farthest thing from metal. The vocal harmonies ... warmed my heart and the instrumental interludes and jams maintained structure as well as the audience’s attention. There was no noodling on the instruments in this band. Matrimony’s songs create sonic textures, landscapes, force and maintain integrity. I urge everyone to check them out..."
