Editor's note

Matthew Wright's band about grief and light

A Northern England group that wrote raw songs about processing personal and historical pain.

For a sense of their raw approach, try 'Leave The Gambling For Vegas' first. 'Beautiful Breakup' gives you another angle on their catalog.

The band's debut album was called 'The War Within,' and Wright's father was a Great War veteran. That history shows up in songs like 'Leave The Gambling For Vegas' and 'Swing With An Axe,' which feel emotionally charged without commercial polish. They kept working despite some finding the material too dark.

They started with 'The War Within' and followed it with 'A Light in the Darkness.' Their catalog includes 'Beautiful Breakup' and 'Dani,' suggesting a consistent focus on emotional weight rather than mainstream appeal.
