About Me

"It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. The motive is everything"- A.W. Tozer
We feel music is a medium to open doors. We make music to let people know that we are different. It doesn't matter where we play or who the audience is, "we want them to know we have a deeper meaning in all we do, both onstage and off," states Matt, vocalist for Sides of the North. For the past 5 years, the Dayton, Ohio based Sides of the North have been evolving. Their music has progressed to a style some call passive aggressive, with huge guitars and driving backbeats while being vocally driven. This is untamed music that didn't forget the melody line. Their debut full length "The Incurable Romantic" will release March 8 through Word of Mouth Records, and was produced by Joe Scarelli from the band Adelaide. Matt continues, "The theme of the record really is just simply about the relationship between God and us. It's about the romance. There is no way for us to ever be good enough, be doing enough, be perfect enough to be worthy of God's favor. Yet He's a hopeless romantic that loves to bless us anyway."
