Sounds Like
Sounds like is an opinion and these can vary from person to person, when you've heard us tell us what you think we sound like and we'll compile it in a list here:
"New wave, 80s rock, 90s indie, electro and allsorts going on here. Passion and stuff and plenty of energy, when played very loud" Living Atheist
"Punk with a splash of Gary Numan and Duran Duran"
"A bit of a Smiths thing going on"
"A bit like JJ72, what ever happened to those guys"
Formed from the necessity to play something new, something fresh, something pure. The founding members of Matt Lane came together in the hopes of melding all their influences into what you hear on the song player: fast, fun songs, loud where it should be, aggressive where necessary, all in the name of creating something to dance to...
Born in October of 2006, consisting of Bass, Guitar, Drums, and three singers. Currently on show in venues throughout Dublin, with hopes to soon tour across Ireland and England (with the single "Surrender To Silence" in tow).
