The UK’s next-wave hard rockers Matted will release their 3rd single ‘Gaslight’ on 7th October 2025.
‘Gaslight’ follows on from their first two singles, ‘Material’ (Feb 2025) and ‘Flowers and Chains’ (Jun 2025) and throws its weight around, revealing an even punchier edge to this innovative band’s developing sound. The 5-piece are influenced by a love of rock music in all its forms.  Grunge, metal, classic, nu, rap, hip-hop and industrial can all be identified here. However, Matted’s fusion of big riffs, melodic vocals and in-your-face drums comes with an irreverence, camaraderie and a cheeky grin creating something fresh and exciting. 

‘Gaslight’ is the third song from the band’s studio sessions with McFly’s Harry Judd and Danny Jones in the producer’s chairs and has been mixed by Lewis Johns. 
Since launching in May 2024, Matted have performed at Download Festival, Call of the Wild and Planet Rockstock, supported Crashface, Armored Saint and Von Hertzen Brothers, and headlined shows in London and Brighton. Radio support has come from BBC Introducing, Total Rock, and Kerrang! Radio, with the latter naming them finalists in The Deal competition 2025.  The hashtag #mattedismassive which the band have adopted, was inspired by an on-air quote from a BBC radio presenter.
