MATALON is a Boston-based hard rock quartet writing and playing straight-out, ass-kicking rock 'n roll - big thick riffs from dual guitars, heavy-ass bass and drums, great lyrics and strong vocals....and ripping, wailing lead guitar - it aint metal, it aint punk, it aint grunge - its HARD ROCK and we f'n love what were doing and we'd rather be dead than doing anything else.
We've been workin our asses off laying down tracks for a new recording and making a new video for the Jesus song, and we'll keep updating you all with new tracks as they are done, and posting roughs and more for ya!
MATALON is fronted by Scott Matalon (daisycutter, squid, modern art!), with his brother Craig Matalon (daisycutter, perseverence) on drums, Jay Gardner on guitar (landsdowne, Highgate) and Chris Eskola (the newtz,deadlikedeath)on the bass. Scott is the owner of Stingray Body Art, Boston's best tattoos, piercing and permanent makeup shop and works there with his brother Craig, and the rest of the guys slave away at one job or another makin' just enuff dough to do one thing; rock their asses off makin' music!
The Matalon brothers have a long history in hard rock; Scott fronted Boston funk/punk sensations SQUID! and was a member of Jazz/Hard-Rock pioneer Modern Art! and has worked for Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, Phish, Capital Records, EMI, Blue Note Records and more - his brother Craig was a member of NY hardcore band Perseverance, who toured opening for Biohazard and rocked the US and Canada many times. Jay was the Lead Guitarist for Lansdowne and is currently doing double duty for the local band, Highgate. Chris has played in a number of local acts, Including the Newtz, Pivot, and Choke Puppy, and is currently also doing double duty with local thrashers, DeadLikeDeath. Until recently, Scott, Craig, and Jay made up 3 quarters of the local rock band, Monolith. With the addition of Chris, the group decided that a new era was beginning, and Matalon was born.
