Matt Hoffman is an American folk rock musician who founded Strange Americans. Following the success of their 2012 release, A Royal Battle, Matt focused on a solo live and recording project, resulting in the forthcoming EP, Lateral Moves. A true musician, artist and visionary for the endeavor, Hoffman performed and recorded nearly all instrumental and vocal tracks on the record.
The songs dive deeply into an honest exploration of human experience and emotion, advocating a raw and simple-yet-meaningful perspective. While imaginatively descriptive in their landscape, the lyrics are packaged in the authenticity that fuels Hoffman’s real and passionate delivery, clearly connecting performer and audience.
On stage, Hoffman performs as a solo act, spouting out renditions of tunes that burst with emotive musicianship. The sheer dynamism and direction of the interplay between guitar and voice establish a remarkably rich and powerful texture; add a folky harmonica to the mix for an additional color in the palette and the result is a truly captivating, memorable live performance.

The Knew will release Schmew, their highly anticipated third album, on CD/LP/DL this Summer via Greater Than Collective.  Here is some more information, by somebody not in the Knew, about Schmew.

The new album by The Knew is called Schmew, so that when people say it, they say “The Knew Schmew”.  The band thought this would be funny.  It sometimes is.  Schmew, as a title, is a nod to their ability to not take their band's name, themselves, or rock n' roll too seriously.  Schmew, as an album, however, was taken seriously when it was made.
 
Throughout three LPs, three 7”s, a couple EPs, and more than enough weirdo dietary habits, The Knew now hangs their collective cap on Schmew, a rock n’ roll record that is quicker than their previous releases, denser than their former efforts, and heavier than their eight hangers combined. Part rock opera, part power pop, and totally stuffed full of strip-mall solos, Schmew is fringe-rock for those that are all in.  Jacob, Ty, Tim and Andy (aka: the band) hope that you are one of those listeners.
