MatteR's story goes back to the mid-90's. Brothers MG (vox) and RI HELL (guitars) started jamming and composing with friends and collaborators.
It is in 2001 that MatteR released the independently produced «I (...) Do You?», the band's first album. Bassplayer, Sebastien "MoM" Montminy and artist extraordinaire Sebastien "Soul Dust" Laurendeau helped define the "MatteR" sound during that period.
Drummer DaveProul-X joined the duo in 2004. Dave and RI met studying music in cegep and are both members of "Cité Blindée".
Brun(o) (bass) is the latest member to join the band, being a long time friend of Mathieu-Gilles; they met back during their university years.
Together, the four members of MatteR now perform on stage most of the material from «I (...) Do You?» and are constantly adding new titles to their set list. Closely related to many different genres (alternative, metal, slightly progressive), MatteR's sound is crunchy, complex but always able to make audiences tap their feet and bounce their heads.
MatteR is presently working on new material and plans half a dozen shows for
2006. A second album is also in the works for the end of the year.
