Matty Matheson’s Band Pig Pen Dropped Their First Single “Mental Mentality” and It Kicks Ass
Get ready to open up a pit, because The Bear actor and actual chef Matty Matheson’s band Pig Pen released its first single and it kicks all kinds of ass. It’s always questionable when someone outside of the music world gets involved, but damn it if Matty doesn’t nail it.
I mean, it helps he’s got guitarists Wade MacNeil (Alexisonfire, Dooms Children) and Daniel Romano, drummer Ian Romano (Daniel Romano’s Outfit), and bassist Tommy Major (Daniel Romano’s Outfit, Young Guv) in the band, but yeah. It’s killer.
Speaking of the single and title track for the band’s debut album Mental Madness, Matheson said it’s all about what he calls “mental health shit”.
“You can be having a beautiful day, surrounded by friends and your brain can continuously ruin it. No matter how good or bad your life is, you can still hate yourself. I’ve got to ask myself why am I feeling the ways I’m feeling?”
As for the video itself, it features live footage from a show filmed at Sneaky Dee’s in Toronto back in late April.
As for their debut album, Mental Madness will be released on June 27 via Flatspot Records. If you’d like to ensure you get your copy when it comes out, you should preorder it today.
