Matt Purcell is an Australian songwriter/singer/guitarist who now lives in Ireland. He has played and recorded with Sydney band Clover in the past. Matt released his debut album ‘Matt Purcell & The Blessed Curse’ (Other Tongues) in 2010, bringing praise from power pop fans in the US & Australia alike. His album, ‘Silverman’ was released in Aug 2017, and received a favorable review by Hotpress Magazine. ‘Matt Purcell - Silverman, antipodean troubadour flies solo. An 11-song opus that lovers of Social Distortion, Drive-By Truckers and mid-period Gaslight Anthem, will clutch to their hearts, it’s a wonderfully ragged rock record, full of warmth.’ (Hotptress Magazine, Aug 2017). Matt’s Australian band, ‘Clover’, released the impressive retrospective ‘Over & Over’ album on Other Eyes Records in 2019. Recorded in part in London’s Toerag studios. He has released his 4th solo effort in 2023 'Message to you', also on the Italian label 'Other Eyes Records'.
