About Me


Matt Peach
Matt Peach is a young singer songwriter from the East Midlands. He was inspired to play guitar following his first Alarm gig back in 2002. Favouring bass initially Matt then moved onto 6 string. A few years later he met Dave Sharpe, who inspired him further and gave him sound advice for his future. Building on this inspiration Matt has gone on to write many quality songs. His lyrics show maturity far beyond his young years, his quality of playing and delivery of vocals is consistently high quality.
If you want to hear the above songs performed live and in their entirety check out one of Matts' scheduled gigs.
April 2008 sees the launch of Matts Debut EP 'ELYSIUM MMVIII', with tracks 'You Were So'; 'Stuck (in my heart)': 'Elysium' and 'Whats Gone is Gone'.
Matt normally plays acoustically but can be found playing electric (lead guitar, harmonica & vocals) with ex-Dazed & Confused members, Mark Doorbar (bass) & Steve Rhodes (drums) in his new band 'THE AFTERSHOCKS'.
'ELYSIUM MMVIII' the debut EP from Matt Peach is available now. Get your copy from any of Matts gigs or message us for details on how to preorder.
Cheers.
Review From the 'Real-Music Club' 06/04/06 Derby
"...Matt Peach and Mark Doorbar (Bass) gave us “Missing You”, “Bound For Glory” and “Rescue Me” and proved beyond a doubt that there is a real uprising of Real-Music among the teenagers of the 21st Century. Matt has a great look and an even better voice. If he believes in himself and soaks himself in live music we will have a new ambassador for the genre..."
