Matthew Good fronted one of the biggest Canadian alt rock bands of the 90s (the Matthew Good Band, of course), before breaking up the band and heading solo in the early 2000s. Good has also made a name for himself using the written word, being a prolific blogger on his website.

The very outspoken musician stopped by the ExploreMusic studios to chat with Alan about his forthcoming fourth solo studio album, Vancouver, and more.

Matt obviously seems a lot more at peace now than he did just a couple years ago when he was going through some time times. 'Vancouver' is really good as expected. His insights into the making of this and some of his other solo albums are interesting. Keep up the good work both Matt and Alan.

5 Songs You Gotta Hear Today

Kae Sun
Lion On A Leash
The title track and first single from the genre-blurring Ghanaian/Canadian artist’s debut full length album.

Sounds like Ben Harper, Bedouin Soundclash, K-Os
Darkest Hour
Into The Grey
Death metal/hardcore merger out of DC that records for Victory Records. Latest album, The Eternal Return, dropped in 2009.

Sounds like Entombed, Lamb Of God, Carcass
Voodoo Bunny
Zed Is For Zombie
The first video from the hard-rocking pop/punk band. Lots of fun, plus they own their Canadian-ness with the first word of this song title. The Queen would approve.

Sounds like The Creepshow, Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space ... and a dash of Misfits, of course
Rynecologist
Burnin' Up
This Toronto DJ/producer/remixer takes the piss out of the Jonas Brothers. Let's hope this starts a trend in the electro/house community.

Sounds like Deadmau5, Paul Oakenfold
Star Eyes
Disappear
One of the first female drum & bass DJs in the U.S., now writing and performing original tunes. She calls the style "haunted house," and that fits.

Sounds like goths taking over a rave, looking to assimilate the party-going masses through song.
