This album is a major step forward in the artistic journey of this band which, despite its youth, is well capable of composing and delivering a brilliant, instinctive sound that blends with the many facets of Los Angeles, a city that has profoundly affected their musical vision.
Sometimes there are striking discoveries and Matt Pascale & The Stomps are certainly one of them. With intense husky vocals and an elegant sonic palette, the band creates an astonishing sound full of raw energy, precision, and feeling, where everything flows perfectly.
'Home' is an album that takes off from the blues and its vintage vibe, yet quickly evolves into a modern and far-reaching sound, combining elements of rock, pop, funk, soul, and even hip-hop.
Thus it all becomes an authentic, emotionally charged musical journey, a series of songs destined to leave their mark and touch the soul of the listener.
‘HOME’, THE NEW ALBUM BY MATT PASCALE & THE STOMPS
Home, the first album by Matt Pascale & The Stomps, was cut in Los Angeles, in the heart of North Hollywood. The album represents the solo debut for the Italian singer-songwriter and guitarist, and was recorded in the studio of producer Fabrizio Grossi, who is already well known for his collaborations with artists such as Steve Vai, Billy Gibbons, Glenn Hughes, Eric Gales, and the Supersonic Blues Machine.
Grossi believed in the project from the very beginning and he did not limit himself to technical production: he oversaw the entire creative process, contributing to the writing and outlining the artistic direction of the work with Pascale.
The immediate interest shown by the European label Dixiefrog Records gave the band further confidence to work on the album. It also sped up the production and led them to make a bold decision: to go to Los Angeles and finish the album right where the inspiration had taken shape.
The result is Home: twelve tracks that tell the story of a heartfelt and eclectic musical journey, where Matt Pascale's sound melds with the diverse and wild energy of the LA scene. An album that, as the title suggests, is infused with a deep sense of emotional and musical belonging, reaffirming the international scope of a project with strong roots and a clear vision.
MATT PASCALE & THE STOMPS BIO
The lineup of Matt Pascale & The Stomps features Italian singer, guitarist, and composer Matt Pascale—considered one of the freshest and most authentic voices on the new European blues scene—joined by Matteo Magnaterra on bass and Elia Squartini on drums, with Rishi Yildiz on keyboards.
Their deep passion for music from across the Atlantic led them to develop a personal music language rooted in hard rock and then morphed into a rich, dynamic blend of Southern rock, swamp blues, and funky neo-soul.
With his powerful voice and extraordinarily sensitive guitar style, Matt embodies the spirit of the greats of the Chitlin' Circuit, blending it with contemporary energy and a deeply urban identity. He is flawlessly backed up by the Stomps, rounding off the sound of every track, and allowing the band to perform at clubs and festivals across Europe.
Despite his young age, Matt has already amassed over 500 live concerts since 2019, making his name with his stage presence and the intensity of his performances. His talent has been recognized by the European Blues Union, which invited him to the prestigious Little Steven Blues School in Norway, where he earned the attention of the Notodden Blues Festival committee. Subsequently, his career also reached the United States again through the European Blues Union, which awarded him a scholarship to the Pinetop Perkins Foundation Blues Workshops, already awarded by the Blues Foundation in Memphis to Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.
Following the release of three singles produced by Fabrizio “Fab” Grossi, the band signed with the storied French label Dixiefrog Records to release their debut album.
With “Home,” Matt Pascale & The Stomps are getting ready to take their distinctive sound to a new height, seamlessly mixing tradition and contemporary with the powerful and genuine spirit that has always been the hallmark of their music.
