Albums Of The Week: Mike Matteson | I’m A Sketchy Freak

Make no mistake: Whether or not the Virgina prolific multi-tasker is a skeevy oddball, there's no denying that he can crank out killer garage-rock nuggets by the carload.

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:Mike Matteson is like if God was cooler.

Like God, Mike can do everything. He plays all the instruments and writes all the music on his releases. He’s been in bands playing blues, punk, psych, sludge metal, indie, and balls-out rock ’n’ roll. And sometimes Matteson is his own band, drumming with his feet while playing guitar and singing, like a magnificent one-man wrecking ball of rock. And, ladies, he’s single!

As the Virginia indie-rock multi-tasker wraps up his latest release-a-palooza — which has seen him drop five albums in as many weeks, along with an EP and a single — he’s got two more records for everyone. First off: his self-proclaimed garage rock magma opus I’m A Sketchy Freak. Next? Well, stay tuned.”
