Matt Dunbar, This Room Burns Bright. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

You are never where you want to be, and the effect of nostalgia has a demanding effect, not only as you get older, finding the whimsy of the scarlet hue of youth a perfect place in which to reminisce but because of the way that modern life has such a strangle-hold on the way we communicate and the way we live, perhaps going months, even years from seeing those we hung around as children, when the world was an easier place to believe that all would be alright.

Matt Dunbar, Home. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

First they tell the artist that their work is just a pastime, next they tell the writers they are being foolish, they have always decried the poet but when they start on the musician, there is nobody left to defend them. All art is under attack by those without imagination, by those who seek to undermine the process of creativity; for the artist suffers and like the coal miners in which Matt Dunbar speaks so eloquently of, once they are done with that spark of genius or labour, they will then come after everybody else.
