“Have My Say is a song I wrote out of frustration. And I feel like that’s come through in it’s manic tone and
fast pace in a way. It’s about no longer wanting to be exploited by others or being told what to do or what
not to do with myself or my time and energy. No longer caring about what people think about my interests
or what I enjoy doing, what I listen to, what I watch, what I write, how I look, what I think, what I do or how I
do things.
Essentially the message is – It’s my life and I will live it how I want to and that’s not for others to decide. I
will have my say.” (Matt Long)

Bio

Matt Long has carved himself a reputation as a stellar front man of multi award-winning British Blues band
Catfish. Alongside playing with Catfish, Matt is now also on the road with his own band, Matt Long and the
Revenant Ones, with powerful new riff-influenced original rock material.

This new band allows Matt to flex his song-writing muscles with a new project focused on rockier riffs and
showcasing his impeccable guitar wizardry.

The band consists of talented and inventive Catfish band-mate Adam Pyke on bass and critically
acclaimed ex-RavenEye drummer Kev Hickman on drums who is no stranger to the world stage. Kev has
performed regularly across three continents and supported acts such as Slash, Deep Purple, Joe Satriani
and The Darkness.

Their phenomenal energy on stage, Matt’s powerful song-writing, Adam’s dark underbelly basslines and
Kev’s outrageously hypnotic drum skills make this a band which stands out from the crowd in a genre full of
talent.

Influences

“We take our influences from a lot of different places. I for one am influenced by rock bands/artists by the
likes of Alter Bridge, Joe Satriani, Rival Sons, Slash, Black Country Communion and lots more and also a
lot of blues oriented people like Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King and the like. Speaking for
the other two, I would say Kev draws his influence from bands like Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave,
Clawfinger, Black Stone Cherry and Deep Purple and Adam likes to play a bit of everything but with
regards to rock and metal he is influenced by bands like Dream Theater, TOOL, Iron Maiden, Blind
Guardian, Edguy and Early Metallica (Matt)

The Future

With their first European tour completed in early 2020 and festival bookings coming in, this band was
already causing a buzz both in the UK and abroad before COVID struck.

The debut album ‘The Other Side’ was due for release in the summer of 2020 but has been put back,
COVID permitting, until early 2021 when they hope to be able to take it out on tour.
