   About Billy Matheny
Billy Matheny is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who parks his van in Morgantown, WV and, in the case of this bio, writes about himself in third-person. When not seated at the piano bench for Misra recording artists Southeast Engine, one can find him fronting his group, Billy Matheny & The Frustrations or playing bass for the garage rock stalwarts, Moon.

“This genre defying singer-songwriter embraces each track with the kind of rock star swagger that makes us weak in the knees. Swoon.”
-Gen Art Pulse

Matheny seems truly blessed when it comes to musicianship, songwriting and stage presence. Just like Dr. Mindbender (of G.I. Joe fame) created Serpentor out of all the greatest dictators of all time, so too was Matheny created out of all the great ghosts of rock and roll’s past.”
-TheGazz.com

“His songwriting is smart, confident and alive with insight and feeling.”
-The Athens News, Athens, OH

“The Morgantown native has used negatives to provide an uplifting narrative in art. On ‘If You See Him Tonight’ he sings ‘I don‘t like this phase I‘m going through’ but fans will have to admit, he‘s put out a great CD.”
-The Charleston Gazette, Charleston, WV

“’Born of Frustration’, the new release by Billy Matheny & The Frustrations is forty rock solid minutes of good old American rock’n’roll. With each track Matheny moves from rock to folk to country to punk, leaving the listener with twelve tracks chock full of grit, twang and pop sensibility.”
-Couchesonfire

“Billy Matheny knocks out with some stellar rock.”
-Smother.net

Hey guys!  I've started posting songs to The WV Scene Playlist, but need the help of all the WV Area bands to decide how the Playlists should be done.  I'd really appreciate it if you took part in the poll I've posted on The WV Scene myspace page.  After all this is a site meant to look after the best interests of the artists whether they be professional or just beginning.  (Be sure to add our activity stream so that we can better communicate what it is we're trying to do).

Hey everyone!  It's about time to post some of your tunes on The WV Scene Playlist...  Until I come up with a better system I'll post the songs of the first ten bands who respond and I'm planning on including a wide variety of styles on the list.  Thanks so much!
