Critics say his playing is reminiscent of Martino, Metheny and Benson, and his new album is possibly his most adventurous yet…
After graduating from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in 2000, Matt Chandler relocated to London and formed a band called PEST with some old friends. Together they released some white labels and were signed by Ninja Tune Records, going on to release two albums and a handful of EPs with tours around Europe. “I got working for a singer-songwriter called Helen Boulding,” he tells us. “Her management secured a support slot for Ronan Keating’s arena tour, so the first tour that I ever did properly was playing in all the arenas around the UK, which was really nice. When we recorded her album, we used the producer Youth and he really liked my playing, so he then went on to book me for quite a few international artists. The last thing I did for him was Poly Styrene’s posthumous album.”

Second String
As PRS's more affordable USA-made S2 line moves into its second decade, the series gets a revamp with - at last - USA-made pickups and electronics. What took so long?
PABLO VAN DE POEL
When a band from The Netherlands describes themselves as 'raw, psychedelic Southern rock', it may take a little cognitive processing to work out what that might mean. One listen to DeWolff, however, and you will be duly transported to the 60s for some fuzzed-out rock 'n' roll
