The Music of Matt Schobs aka Yearbook

Post by yearbook »

Firstly - Hey to the people at this forum - and a special hey to the webmaster!
Great site! very very informative on all things Cohen!

So, I wanted to let you people know about my music - If you do not already know that is....

I have gained quite a fanbase over the past year or so whilst living between my birth home of England and second home of New Zealand.

Please check out my links below - Feel free to download my music or stram it from various sites -

Most commonly compared to the likes of Ryan Adams, John Lennon, Badly Drawn Boy, Nick Drake, The Beatles etc etc....

When asked to decribe my music - someone recently said...

"Imagine Nick Drake if he had a lived a life time of drunken barfights.... and you will be half way there...."

Thanks for your time!

I hope you will enjoy the music.

Any fans of Mr Cohen may like to check out my song

'New Southern Light' - as it has recieved some comparisions.

Matt, I am sure you are going to hate me for this, but your beautiful track Find Another Me put me in mind of Simon and Garfunkle harmonies crossed with either Springsteen or Dylan. I loved that track though.

hi Matt, I have, so far, only listened to the pleasant Find Another Me. I hear no barfights there but I certainly hear Ellliot Smith so that's not bad! thanks for sharing.

I would recommend Find Another Me, I have been playing it to my friends, they love it too, it has made my current top ten play list on my computer.
It was great the first time of listening and it carries on growing on you.
