Matthew Curran was the youngest guitarist sponsored by Gibson at the age of eleven. He wowed crowds from the Hard Rock Cafe to Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village with his ability to mimic and perform the solos from every great guitarist, transversing from Clapton to Hendrix to Page. Throughout his teens, he’s had the opportunity to open for and perform with such luminaries as Dave Mason, Jeff Healy, and Les Paul, to name a few. Now at 18, the college freshman is emerging on the scene with a self-produced original solo album Simplify. It stays true to its name in the face of guitar virtuosity. Humility and consciousness are the musical and spiritual questions evoked in Curran’s debut effort, pulled off with a tasteful blend of classic and modern rock that is sure to mesmerize listeners of all ages. Songs like The Vibe offer a harmonica-like wah solo on the guitar, later kicking into a full-blown psychedelic refrain. Simplify, Hypnotruth, and Bad News are glimpses at our modern world from the perspective of the artist as a young man, ingrained in sensibility. The music travels in and out of reminiscient strains, sometimes sounding like a flash of Alice in Chains, or the harmonies of an Allman Brothers style guitar riff. The influences of Page and Clapton are very apparent. Still, he’s molding his own sound and carving his way into some uncharted territories as well. In general, his music offers hope . . . hope for the spiritually consciousness of the young, and hope that a new generation of rockers that may be inspired to experiment, explore, and reflect like those bands of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Matthew Curran is a young artist to watch.
Kevin Conroy– drums
Kevin began playing drums at the age of 7 after a long day of house cleaning lead to his dad's old drum set being dragged out of the attic. He sat down and almost immediately could keep a steady rock pattern. Soon after he began practicing everyday, mostly playing along to Beatles albums for hours a day trying to figure out everything he could just by listening. While this was a tremendous help, Kevin began taking formal lessons at the age of 12. Since then he has played in dozens of bands around New Jersey, and played over a hundred shows around the tri-state area. Despite playing mostly in rock bands over the past few years, Kevin studies and plays as many other styles as he can on his own time, and is always up for learning different aspects of drumming and facing new challenges.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
