If you’ve paid attention to the indie rock scene in recent years, you’ve probably noticed how many bands

 

Hitting the scene in early 2025, Matt Raven & The Bastards bring a high-octane blend of hard rock, metal, blues, glam, and stoner rock. Built on heavy-hitting riffs, massive anthemic choruses, and pure stage energy, the band is currently locked in the studio putting the finishing touches on their debut singles. 

Their new track “Going Down” is fantastic track, packing a killer band performance with heaps of attitude and dynamic shifts that keep you hooked from start to finish. Between the inspired guitar riffs, super catchy lyrics, and a phenomenal solo section, it hits with the heavy, blues-infused swagger of bands like Monster Truck.
