About Me

Hi, welcome to my music space. I have a varied musical history involving bands, duos & solo work having formed my first band with schoolmates at the age of thirteen. Various incarnations & styles followed with band names like Pegasus, Bad Taste, Johnny and The UXB's, No Excuse, Tokyo Rose, Helter Skelter and Teaser. I'm currently over the moon to be playing bass with Telford punk rockers Guttersnipe (see top friends for gig list). When I'm not busy playing with new ideas on my 8-Track I'm likely to be reading, watching the silent classics of Chaplin & Keaton, checking out new bands & musical talent whenever & wherever I can, or walking across the scenic vistas of the world, anything indeed that reminds me that the uni-verse is one-song - pretentious, moi! Anyway, please listen to my stuff & if you want to make an old adolescent very happy then click here -

Review by RadioIndy.com:-"Sometime" by Matthew Hill is a memorable alternative rock album with an urban undertone. There is a noticeable punk-pop influence in the sound. Moreover, the songs are very catchy, flaunt an appealing rebellious intensity, and are generally positive. Matthew's voice is very distinct and has a passionate tremble to it, which nicely compliments his soulful lyrics. Musically, this CD also stands out with arrangements that are quirky and air-tight. The opener, "Love on My Side,” has a great hook, unique vocal delivery, and is just plain catchy. "Dear Me" starts off vengefully, with a hot guitar riff and punchy vocals. There are some nice vocal harmonies in the chorus as well. The title-track settles things down a bit with a few chords on the guitar, a simple beat, and a heart-felt vocal performance. If you like Adam Ant and The Beatles, you'll like this one.
