Matson Rising

London, United Kingdom, October 12, 2005 --(PR.com)-- When a kid off a council estate picks up a cheap guitar to write some songs, you could be forgiven for having a low expectation. But then a rough diamond turns up in Rainham, Essex and expectations change.

With his popularity growing due to internet and student radio stations, the chase is beginning to hot up for Indie Rocker Joe Matson. His pure vocals along with poetic lyrics are starting to make him hard to ignore.

One A&R Executive stated “It’s no surprise really that Joe’s beginning to pick up a lot of label interest, I know for a fact that he has already turned down a number of contracts so far this year. The truth about Joe is that he has a fantastic natural ability to write songs and has become a great live performer as well. He also has a loveable rogue quality about him, a kind of everyman if you will. He is definitely someone who you find easy to relate to. I remember him giving me a demo of a track called Diamonds and being completely blown away. It’s a hauntingly beautiful song which is extremely well written. To be honest I’d be hard pushed to name another unsigned artist who demonstrates the potential that Joe has.”
