about

Based in Los Angeles/Vancouver. The Matchstick Skeletons came out of the grave swinging. With their debut single “Told Ya So” reaching a quarter million streams and going top 20, the match was lit.

   The band was founded by singer Neu Mannas, and drummer Matty Carolei. Midway through a decade on the road they made a record together at the legendary Rockfield studio in Wales. Following up the first independent #1 in Canadian rock history, on the piano from Bohemian Rhapsody, the drum set from OK Computer, and in the same courtyard the Oasis boys beat each other’s asses with cricket bats, they shared a look and knew exactly what they were going to do. Walk away from a major label deal, and start the band they’ve always wanted to be in, The Matchstick Skeletons.

   Inspired by funk records and the madness of old school rock n’ roll, they made a sound and a universe all their own. Through the making of this album Ryan Stead and Cole Friesen joined as multi-instrumentalists/vocalists.

   Renowned for their live performance, members have toured with Guns n’ Roses, Alice In Chains, Shania Twain, Deep Purple, Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, & most recently, The Glorious Sons in the US where they were when the world shut down.

   When COVID hit, singer Neu Mannas went full Walter White into the California desert for months with his dog, a bunch of instruments, and the band’s RV to finish their debut LP “Change The Channel.”

   The band made a record that tells a personal story through the lyrics and songwriting, sonically touches on Neu’s experience scoring indie films, with songs built to be explosive live.

   Once the songs were written they tapped Mark Rankin, (known for his work with Queens of the Stone Age, Adele, Spoon & Weezer), to mix the back half of the studio sessions. The one and only Ben Kaplan (Biffy Clyro, Mother Mother, etc) lent his ears and expertise to the first batch including The Know-How EP.

   The single “I’m Right Here” was written/recorded with Brett from The Glorious Sons. Having both worked in fancy studios around the world, they figured why not do this half cut with a handheld mic in Brett’s kitchen in Hamilton. It was honest and straight from the guts.
