Hello Everyone
We thought it would be cool to make the visual part of MRVSS interactive. We'd love it if you took pictures inspired by the songs and uploaded them here. Of course the pictures are still yours and we won't use them in any other fashion. But I know many of you are artists as well. I was hoping you would upload them to the player below and help to create a visual community of sorts for the songs on MRVSS. One selected winner will be winning hand written and autographed lyrics to a Matthew Ryan song of their choice.

Sounds Like:

The first collection by MRVSS is utterly human; it muscles and floats through a very lucid Rock Nroll without pause or filler for all 11 tracks as if it were a Scorcese film for the ears. The mood of the record insists that the beauty in living is found in the fight to persevere against all that discount or betray you; and that the struggles inside the classic themes of living should be met with a square chin while reaching on tip-toes for heaven.
