   About Matt Rocker
MySpace


(Village Voice)
"Sprightly and tuneful local singer-songwriter, in early-'80's post-Elvis Costello punchy power-chorded pub-pop mode, though he may well owe just as much to, say, Weezer or Fountains of Wayne. One of his songs may or may not be about Bob Dylan" Chuck Eddy
