About Me



Did you discover As Matthew Falls ?


As Matthew Falls is the name used by Kent/London (UK) based songsmith Tess.

Tess' early experiences of music came from blank tapes and recording the top 40 every Sunday. Here, he found a love for everything from John Lennon to Punk. No music escaped those tapes or his attention. This, mixed with a short attention span for things that dont evolve, has guaranteed a varied musical offering from this solo artist and his debut album features everything from Kinks inspired riffs to piano melodies and Glastonbury folk. Yet his love for a tune has never belied his wish to express honesty in his lyrics. This isnt diet coke but the full phat stuff that may clog your veins (allegedly). His debut album, written whilst living in Greenwich (London, UK) raises all kinds of emotions from the fun filled tuneage of OUTSIDE to the harsh bitterness of IN BLOOD, a gripping tune recounting the tragic murder of a local girl.

The FOUR tracks featured for your perusal are:

1. OUTSIDE (IN THE SUN) a chronically ill kid hears the world from behind his window and wishes. "I want to go outside, where the kids are hip, choppers and space dust licks".

2. MISERY SHE'S THE BEST where would you be without all your misery, would you be the same ?

3. HE FALLS TO EARTH (LIVE DEMO VERSION) if you stopliving life according to someone else's termss what fdo you become to them ?
4. LIVING IN A STATE OF hold me, help me, tel me that you love me.

All tracks © Tess / AMF Publishing company


Born just outside of London, his unique voice comes from a life that has seen him live and lodge far and wide from Kent, Greenwich, The Midlands, Devon, Seattle and Texas in the States. He currently lives in Folkestone.

Finally, to everyone who has taken the time, to say Hi and especially those who have left fun and fruity comments for us all to read on myspace, thank you. You are the unexpected £10 found in last years jeans.
Dont be a stranger, just be stranger..

Love Tess
