Matty James Cassidy

**Matty James Cassidy** is a Scottish singer-songwriter and punk-rock troubadour known for his gritty storytelling and raw, energetic sound. Hailing from Glasgow, Cassidy cut his teeth in the DIY punk scene as frontman of the raucous pop-punk band The Murderburgers before venturing into solo territory. His music blends punk’s urgency with folk’s narrative depth, often weaving tales of hard luck, late-night regrets, and characters clinging to hope in dive bars. Tracks like "Trouble," "Evil Under the Moon," and "Ballad of the Knucklemen" showcase his knack for pairing bruising guitar riffs with lyrics that feel like short-story confessionals. Whether he’s snarling through an anthem or stripping things down acoustically, Cassidy’s work thrives on authenticity, DIY spirit, and a touch of whiskey-soaked charm.
