Mild Card – “Cafe Cabana”
This one is dripping in the dirty rock style we cannot get enough of. “Cafe Cabana” is an absolute scorcher. The sound and swagger reminds us of Queens of the Stone Age, while still maintaining a distinct rock identity. It an impressive release by a guy who plays everything on the track. As a new dad, the artist bounces between parenting, working, and playing incredible rock music. This is a UK act we respect and absolutely cannot get enough of.
Matt Simon was raised on classic rock and Neil Diamond, though his tastes have expanded greatly since. It is his strongly held belief that the Midwest produces everything good in this world and will gladly discuss that fact over coffee. All the major events in his life have a soundtrack attached to it like an audio scrapbook. He loves to listen to the likes of Jessica Lea Mayfield and Frank Turner; wishes he was as cool as Josh Homme, and still foolishly believes that Led Zeppelin will reunite. He resides near Cleveland, Ohio.
