Matthew Good
Matthew Good is well on his way to releasing his next album Arrows Of Desire in September and I spoke to him about it upon the release of first single “Had It Coming.”
The album’s a decided return to “rawk” and will sound mighty comforting to any of the many ’90s rock nostalgist who are proudly coming out of the closet after years of shame.
And the song “Had It Coming” is a good time, so… so far, so good.

The result was a wide-ranging interview for Huffington Post Music Canada where band leader Carl Newman told her about how psyched he was about the band’s new songs.
