Editor's note

Matt Willis, from Crash frontman to solo pop-punk

The voice behind Crash's 2004 hit 'Crash' and later solo tracks like 'Not Over'.

For the Crash era, 'Up All Night' nails that early pop-punk rush. His solo track 'Not Over' gives a good sense of where he landed after the band.

Crash's debut 'I Love You' hit number 3 in the UK in 2003, and the single 'Crash' topped charts the next year, sparking talk about its vocal production. Willis kept that pop-punk drive going solo with songs like 'Not Over', showing he's more than a one-band story.

He started Crash in 2003 with James Bourne, releasing three albums before the band went on hiatus in 2009. Since then, he's put out solo material, including 'Perfect (feat. Ellysse Mason)', while sticking close to that energetic sound.

Archive material and source history

Matt Willis was the frontman of the band Crash, which formed in 2003 with his childhood friend James Bourne. Their debut album 'I Love You' reached number 3 in the UK charts that same year. The band's sound leaned into pop-punk with some alternative rock touches, anchored by Willis's vocals and Bourne's songwriting.

In 2004, Crash released the single 'Crash,' which went to number 1 in multiple countries. The track's success came with some debate about vocal production techniques. The band put out two more albums, 'The Unnamed Album' in 2005 and 'This Is Not a Formula' in 2007, before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2009.

Willis has continued to release music as a solo artist, including songs like 'Not Over' and 'Perfect (feat. Ellysse Mason).' His work after Crash maintains some of that pop-punk energy while exploring different production approaches.
