    Matt is the man. The scene needs more honest, articulate, self-aware and down-to-earth band dudes

      People drag him now because he doesn’t trash the country, or embrace victim culture

    "self destruct" is arguably one of the best beginnings of a song.

    “The internet only exists when you look at it”
    This fucking goes so deep!
    That quote alone puts so much into perspective.

      its really not that deep lol. A child doesn't have object permanence which means if they can't see/'touch it, it doesn't exists. Which isn't the case... the internet exists if you look at it or not. People will talk about you if they know about you if you know they are or not... this statement isn't deep.

    I fucking love this guy. My little brother’s first and only metal show was Kublai Khan, The Acacia Strain, Fit For An Autopsy and Counterparts. Whenever Kublai Khan played we got down as fuck in the pit, and met Matt, he was so SO nice and cool. My brother died last year, every time I hear them now I think of my little bro. Love you Matt and all of Kublai Khan.
    P.S. no homo, but he has the sweetest TX accent ever🖤

    Awesome interview, with an intelligent guy who turns into an absolute monster on stage. Glad these questions are well thought out and you did your research instead of just “what’s your name and what do you do in the band?”. Subscribed.
