New CD - man versus concrete
The Matt Osborne Band's new album "man versus concrete" 
is
now available!
Signs of today's progress are all around us. And what symbolizes that progress better than concrete? We drive on it. We labour within great blocks of it. We usually retreat behind concrete walls at the end of the day. It's everywhere. This album deals with the individual's struggles against all that--why should these barriers (real and metaphorical) control us from cradle to grave? Sure, a well worn trail taken by many a songwriter. But the Matt Osborne Band makes sure that the journey on "man versus concrete" is a surprising, dramatic and ultimately moving one. And one that you can groove to. Very important. Get that swerve on, nawmean?
Our heroes, while clearly possessed of an agressive, melodic power pop foundation, venture into many areas through these 11 tracks to make their point. Folky interludes, the odd celtic splash and a few blues workouts all peacefully coexist on "man versus concrete."
