Matt Pryor - May Day

Includes a free MP3 album download

New solo album from Matt Pryor, guitarist and lead singer of The Get Up Kids. "'Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down' epitomizes the ethics that surrounded, and played a role in the release of this album. With his fan-base funding the release through fan-centric website Kickstarter, Matt launches his new label — Nightshoe Syndicate — taking this stripped back independent approach one step further.

Coming from a place — and the month of May in which the album was written and recorded — Pryor doesn't hold back his frustrations with writing and playing music within a time where he was simply burnt out, creating the darkest moments within tracks like the eerily serene 'Like A Professional' and the haunting ‘As Lies Go...This One Is Beautiful'. However tracks like ‘Where Do We Go From Here' brighten up the hope of this release, quickening the pace and in the case of ‘Your New Favorite,' widen the instrumentation with a piano and harmonica which help add real depth, and balance out proceedings. This album is another demonstration of the instantly relatable songwriting that Pryor so effortlessly produces." — Alter The Press
