Matt Owens first came to prominence as a founding member of million-selling Indie-folk band Noah and the Whale.
After his last solo record “Way Out West” was hailed as a “Masterpiece” by Uncut and a “Career Zenith” by Classic Rock Mag the critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter is back with a new souped-up Rock’n’Roll band “Radioking” and his most visceral, primal record to date.
Cut live to tape over two days at Middle Farm and featuring Paul Weller/ Ocean Colour Scene’s guitarist Steve Cradock, “The Wilderness Years” harks back to 70’s Neil Young, and the most joyous Drive-by Truckers, combined with jams that venture into the sonic palettes of War on Drugs.
Over the years Matt’s melodic, gritty guitar style has kept him in high demand, playing with members of Dire Straits, Ethan Johns, Laura Marling & Our Man in The Field amongst many others and his new band are the perfect foil for some incendiary jams.
Matt Owens & Radioking are touring all year, fast establishing themselves as one of the fiercest live acts in the country.
