Welcome to Episode 6 of the HardRockCore Podcast
This is a bonus episode as I felt this conversation with my guest today was very fluid and needed immediate service to the public with our conversation. Today my guest is MATT McANDREW who is the vocalist for the Sacramento based band currently known as SLAVES. The band just issued a statement on what the future holds with their name and Matt addresses this and discloses, like the statement, that it’s been in the making for some time now but there was no time like the present to let the public know. Matt was also a contestant on Season 7 of THE VOICE where he was the Runner Up and ADAM LEVINE was his coach and he learned a great deal from that experience and had a true friendship develop with Adam.
We also exchanged words on living in Silverlake, WaWa versus Dunkin Donuts, how he came to join Slaves and his first show in Manchester, England as well as some of the lyrical themes on the coming album, TO BETTER DAYSwhich was written and recorded within 45 days.
