On Tuesday, the Menzingers released their new album Rented World! While they are looking forward with their new release, we looked back to On the Impossible Past as we revealed the Mat Burke cover of the Menzingers favorite 'Mexican Guitars'. The Menzingers who now call Philadelphia home are from Scranton, which just happens to be where Mat Burke grew up.
Mat Burke is also working on new material. His new album, Still Bleeding is in the final mixing stages working with Brian Strouse and Josh Friedman of the Lawsuits.
To get familiar with Mat Burke and his upcoming work you can start with his Cover Club session original "Box Of Pine," recorded at Break Neck Studios in Newtown, Pa. This new single was written about a tour with pals Levee Drivers. Mat pours out his emotions on this solo track born of frustrations being out on the road.
