The Fugitives is the passion project of singer/songwriter/producer, Matt Woolf.

Paradoxically, their sound is they have no fixed sound. They have no interest in the confines of category. What turns them on is the art of songwriting, composition, musicianship and production. Effortlessly crossing over multiple genres, the diverse amount of influences in their compositions makes the band's sound almost impossible to label, with every song on their latest album confidently carrying its own distinct style. For better or worse, this has become hardwired into The Fugitives' DNA - fusing punk to classical to folk to indie/alternative/classic/progressive rock to funk to soul to gospel to jazz to pop, their sound knows no bounds. It's always and only about THE MUSIC 
 
The band collaborated with the legendary John Helliwell of Supertramp on their new album, Everymen, in which former Lloyd Cole & The Commotions drummer Stephen Irvine also joined the ranks. Aided and abetted too by guitarist / singer-songwriter, James Hender (ex-The Weekenders) and bassist, Michael Captain.

Legendary Grammy award-winning producers, Mr Ken Scott and Mr Peter Henderson were consultants on the making of the 'Everymen' album.

Based in North/West London, UK, the band have been extensively aired and interviewed on stations such as BBC Radio 6, LBC, Black On Track Radio Show and Cobwebs & Strange.

Inspired by the great songwriting traditions from the 1960's to present day, Matt found himself building a stable of highly talented writers and composers. The latest album features nine of them on one record. Much more is in the pipeline for future releases...

"The Fugitives deliver the masterful album, Everymen"
- Roadie Music

"Taking the best of classic rock, and taking care to bring it all to the present without losing anything along the way, there seem to be no other examples like it."
- Ivan Ananyin | vk/playspotify

"Some classic songwriting and great harmonies."​
- Charlie Ashcroft. Presenter | Amazing Radio 

"The single 'In Your Life' is just so unique and beautiful. It reminds me of ELO, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty. It's got beautiful harmonies, it's touching, it's got everything that you want to know, see and hear in a band."- DJ Dino Bedrocker | Spire Radio | The Music Shindig

"I think 'Extremities' stands out as a potential hit single. It shows Matthew's ability to create beautifully layered harmonies that really work with the lyrics. The song is both moving and uplifting and has universal appeal. I can imagine a boy band doing a wonderful version of it. Matthew has written songs that I believe could be big hits if matched with the right artists."
- Kelly Davis (music festival organizer)

"I can't stop humming "This That & The Other". It's got a wonderful 70's vibe that I cant put my finger on. And that chorus and sweeping piano is WOW! "
- Liam Rigby (Music journalist)

"This is obviously a very mature songwriter, talented, musical, and very strong with arrangement."
SterlingRocks, Los Angeles, California

"Wow!!! Procol Harum collide with the Kinks and produce a wonderful offspring. This is a very refreshing change from the bulls**t you are sometimes subjected to when you do reviews. Interesting lyrics and a vocalist that makes them work just right with the music. Well written. Well executed."
- Boptherabbit, Merritt Island, Florida
