mattokushi is a Russian rock artist with a passion for the visceral. His soundscape always forms on the edge of feeling and expressing. The soundscapes, forged with a punk rock edge, are laced with emo accents and accessories, making the listening experience very real and authentic. However, it would not be accurate to club it with the emo or the punk rock you know, or are familiar with. There’s a very specific use case here that is quite refreshing and perspective inducing. His latest release is ‘Get Up!’, a track that features the work of anessy alongside maytokushi.  

Taken from the ‘WHEN NOBODY’S WATCHING’, it is full of youthful angst, and the rebel power that is generated from it. The soundscape is quite light and agile for the genre, quite fluid. In the chorus, the riffs generate depth along with the rhythmic intensity of the vocals. It has that garage rock coarseness and punk affluence to it, but is nicely balanced out by a smooth polish of warm and light melodies. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
