Matt DAlessio

Bassist for HEDNOD and Ten-8

About Me

I've been playing for about 8 years in just about every style and group you could imagine. The tracks on my player are from every EP or live recording I did in high school and college.

This all led me to stay in the Boston area after finishing up college in Providence to continue to play with my two current projects: HEDNOD - a female fronted hard rock band ala Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Sixx AM; and Ten-8 - Newport's FINEST cover band that's been gigging from Block Island, RI all the way up to Sunday River Ski Area, ME!

***HEDNOD is extremely excited to be recording our first EP! We just started recording on 8/12/08 - see my blog for more details, and stay tuned for more updates!!!***
