Matt has been described as today’s Bob Dylan, but [his] lyrics [are] a step beyond.” RADIORADIOX “There’s something a bit special about Matt Pless when it comes to lyrics. They are playful and witty but also searching. It’s definitely got folk running through it, but there are lots of classic power-pop and rock and roll elements, too.” Michael Beck, PHONOTONAL.COM —
