MATTHEW GOOD BAND - 'Everything Is Automatic'
Origin: Vancouver, BC
Category: NORTHERN ELIXIR
Cherchez La Moose: I loved Canadian alt rock as a teenager. I didn't realize how neutered most of it was until a few years ago, when I decided to play through my old CD's. Matthew Good Band were more radio-friendly than I had remembered, but good songwriting is good songwriting, and they wrote a lot of excellent music. Everything Is Automatic is one of many songs I could have posted. 1997's Underdogs is still a classic album, and 1999's Beautiful Midnight was a perfect follow-up. Matt Good's lyrics became very depressing over time, to the point where I didn't feel like listening to him anymore. He is still releasing music though, now as a solo artist.
