We reviewed The Matchstick Skeletons single “Told Ya So,” in November of 2018, (Read the Review Here) it was apparent then they had a coursing sound that crossed between the soulful sounds of James Brown and the grittiness of Lemmy. Shaking your head? Don’t worry these chart-topping creatives are back at it again, this time with an EP titled The Know How. The band members are: Neu Mannas, Matty Carolei, Ryan Stead and Cole Friesen, these boys are taking things to the next level.

I still stand by the formula of crunchy guitars, pounding drums and rock-steady attitude the inferno is lit and the Matchstick Skeletons are ready to pulverize.

Bottom Line

Recorded in their native land of Canada each track offers its own personality. The single “I Told You So,” is a gritty tune, that throbs with rock steady anthems, while “Already Down,” has a swirling sonic with fuzzed backing vocals that add to the smoothness of the tune. “So Far Away,” is a grooving tune that stings like a bee as it dances through voluminous guitar a and thrashing drums and groove driven guitar lines. “I’m The Dog,” ends on a positive note with a feel-good rock tune, you will find yourself singing to long after the listen. That’s the short of it!
