Matt Boroff by Matt Boroff

Now, with a self-titled debut album, Matt Boroff and his trio are poised to introduce their music to audiences on multiple continents, and make the worldwide charts a more interesting place to be.

Matt Boroff's new album has a tremendous variation of sounds, from soft, understated ballads to driving rock grooves that get your foot moving as fast as your heart. Using a thick, but still crisp and nimble sound, the combination of guitar, drums, and upright bass, running under Matt's powerful voice, the trio travels with a number of styles and owns them all perfectly. Opening with the aptly titled Soft Sky, a bold move for an independent rock group, gives listeners a first impression with low-stress rhythmic ideas and a whispering vocal line, proving first that this band can keep a solid feel without using power chords or pop/rock tricks. This, of course, is followed up by the acidic grind of Onion Man and the hard rock tensions of Tightrope, a great track with plenty of power and a good musical balance. Boasting a rich sound and a real passion for well-written and intelligent music, Matt Boroff's trio is a commanding newcomer to the modern rock scene, and holds all the right cards to become known globally for their flawlessly crafted songs. The powerful Everything is Breaking Down is a solid pillar of the album, with its relentless drive and motion earning the group a status from fans of "U2 with one hell of an attitude."

Originally hailing from northern New Jersey, Matt Boroff began his career with a group called Planet Dread, touring widely and opening for groups like Nirvana and Bad Brains. After doing a great deal of solo and studio work in New York City, Matt moved to Europe with his Austrian bride, and met the new members of his current group. Little Konzett, a spectacular drummer who had been playing professionally from age 13, joined Boroff in 2000, and a German bassist named Markus Bodenseh completed the trio in 2002. Since that time the three have been playing music together and amazing audiences with their stage presence, easily likeable songs, and sheer musical talent. Now with a self-titled album at their disposal, Matt Boroff and his group can amaze the rest of the world, and prove that good rock can be found anywhere.

Matt Boroff's self-titled debut album is a must-have for any listener of any angle of rock, with its soft ballads and driving beats. Even without their comprehensive blend of modern music, these musicians are remarkable performers, and their musical abilities alone are enough to warrant checking this album out. Matt Boroff's new record is the perfect addition to any collection, and no fan of rock should pass this group by.
