Matt Peach - Epiphany Review.

Some things just do not seem fair. The one big thing I have never understood is the random nature of bands / artists actually becoming a success. Radio play and media acceptance is a total lottery.

I can say for sure that it is not just based on talent and enthusiasm. I am not saying that all successful bands are undeserving- I tend to look at it from the opposite viewpoint, that many very talented musicians are in danger of slipping through the net.

I really hope that this does not happen with Matt Peach. I believe his latest album, Epiphany, may well go a long way to making sure that it will not.

I must, once again, declare an interest here. Matt is not a new artist to me. I have been listening to him and watching him play live for some years. This, however, does not colour my opinion of this new offering.

Listening to Epiphany is a really happy experience. There are some songs on here that will be familiar from live shows, such as Cut Our Teeth (the new single) and One Night in Paris. Even if they are not already known to new listeners, there are accessible and well written.

The whole album is a collection of great pop/rock songs that deserve a much wider audience.

One of my highlights is Guy Bueno- a great story about Matt himself being rescued from a drunken, quite scary situation by a total stranger.

Listen to this album. It will make you smile. The songs are great, and the playing / musicianship is fantastic. It is also worth checking out Blue Skies – a previous album- and his Christmas song – Rock and Roll Christmas. The latter is great fun that should be on everyone’s yuletide playlist.

Go and buy Epiphany and check out Matt live as soon as COVID allows it. Maybe we can all do something small in the name of enabling talent to rise to its deserved level. I really hope that this happens with Matt.
