Matt Cory, the force behind a brand of loud, bombastic, and unapologetically raw rock n' roll, unleashes a sonic onslaught with his latest EP, "Let's Go Downtown!" This collection of songs is not for the faint of heart—it's meant to be cranked up to maximum volume, fueling adrenaline-fueled adventures down the highway or raucous backyard parties.

The EP kicks off with "There Goes My Baby," a blistering tale of heartbreak transformed into a volatile, rifftastic hard rock anthem. Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Stooges and Deep Purple's "Highway Star," Cory delivers a powerhouse performance that sets the tone for the rest of the EP.

The title track and lead single, "Let's Go Downtown," doesn't hold back, serving up an in-your-face dose of anthemic rock energy. With its straightforward lyrics and endless hooks, the song captures the exhilaration of exciting first-date encounters, while the bridge pays homage to the power pop stylings of Cheap Trick, adding a touch of nostalgia to the mix.

Closing out the EP is the cerebral and emotionally charged "Shake This Whole World," a powerful ballad that showcases Cory's versatility as a songwriter and performer. With echoes of power glam reminiscent of bands like Ghost and a guitar solo reminiscent of Bowie, the track leaves a lasting impression, drawing listeners into a whirlwind of emotions and landscapes.

Throughout "Let's Go Downtown!", Cory's passion for music is palpable, infusing each track with relentless energy and unwavering commitment to the rock genre. Based in Brandon, Manitoba, Cory's approachable yet hard-hitting sound resonates with audiences seeking authentic and unapologetic rock music.
