FROM MEGAN JONES, MUSIC DIRECTOR, FUSION RADIO:
"I just wanted to take the opportunity to share my thoughts on Toronto’s own Matt Kusiba (& The Heard): It is very refreshing to see a band with so much enthusiasm not only for their own music, but for music and its scene in general. They are a hard-working team who spend a lot of time talking with fans one-on-one, getting feedback and doing anything so they can to improve as a band.
That is an admirable quality. I have taken the opportunity to listen to four of their recorded songs and like them all very much. They have a “Foo Fighters” meets “Oasis” sound which, as a music director I would (and have) put into rotation. Their lyrics are sincere and thought provoking and their sound is appealing. I would highly recommend Mat & The Heard....They are marketable, unique and most importantly passionate people. "
Matt Kusiba is a songwriter from Toronto, Canada, writing catchy pop rock tunes reminiscent of Oasis and Radiohead. Matt has been noticed by a Major Label (in the works) & XM Satellite Radio. EP on itunes this Fall. Hear the single,

'Help for Heroes'
All proceeds from this EP will be donated via www.justgiving.com/glasswallproductions in aid of 'Help for Heroes' in recognition of the courage and selfless commitment of the men and women of our Armed Forces who have been wounded in action whilst serving our country. They all rightly deserve our support and respect!
My musical taste and influences are varied. As a songwriter I write lyrics and compose melodies that are guitar based. The music is upbeat with a punchy baseline, a good drum beat and melodic vocal harmonies.
