We caught up with Kevin Matthews after jamming at Four Tones today. He was warm and enlightening as always, and it felt good to know that he still appreciates our work.
If only the scene had a few more Kevin Mathews, who tirelessly documents and champions music that's been victimised by a lack of attention for far too long...
"KKJ is, in my opinion, severely underrated in the S-ROCK scene. At its core, the band is able to meld commercial and artistic concerns in their songwriting and recording process. Which means slick production values, good singing and performances. And above all that, killer hooks and an indelible groove. If It Wasn’t For You possesses all these elements. I will say it again - a band to watch out for."
