Having graced the stages of the West End and performed on national TV screens, Matted are exploring new musical territory.
We recently began discovering new rock and metal bands through music discovery platform Groover. Some bands don’t respond to our requests for interviews, so we’ll likely be doing semi-regular round-ups of new artists we’ve discovered through the site.
London trio Foreign Shapes have honed an engaging indie-rock sound that offers a nod to 90s Britrock and 2000s alternative rock, and they describe as “nostalgic, atmospheric, and introspective.”
Norwich trio Mountain Peaks have crafted an intriguing sound that toes the line between emo, shoegaze and screamo, and they describe as “chaos, suffering and beauty.”
Porstmouth quartet Call Of Sirens have crafted a catchy and engaging rock sound led by powerful vocals and punky instrumentals, which they describe as “attitude, emotive and different.”
London-based trio Electron fuse elements of grunge, hard rock, metal and nu-metal in an intense but engaging sound that they describe as “vicious, ferocious and unapologetic.”
Alternative rockers Hana Piranha have crafted an intriguing sound that fuses heavy guitars, orchestral arrangements and dark lyrical content and they describe as “dark, genuine and intense.”
South Wales band ICANTDIE offer up a post-hardcore sound that’s both heavy and accessible that they like to summarise as “chaotic, heavy, loud, frenetic, energetic and dark.”
Cornish band Idle Tongues have honed an engaging modern hard rock sound that aims to take the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions and they describe as “emotive, punchy and dynamic.”
Yorkshire-based indie-punk duo Rum Lad offer up a feisty soundtrack for the working class in a “council estate music” sound that they describe as “honest, angry and sincere.”
Bruising Birmingham band Atarka have honed a powerful and commanding groove-tinged melodic death metal sound that they describe as “imposing, merciless and melodic.”
