Toronto power-pop act Pretty Matty are set to share a split 7" release with Nashville duo Sad Baxter on Head 2 Wall Records. You can preview Matty's side, a whirlwind of an East Bay-styled, guitar-driven punk song now at Bandcamp. The split arrives March 6, with the bands pairing up for a mini-tour hitting Cincinnati, Columbus, and Nashville in support.
The 45 follows a recent solo set that Matty Morand recorded with Ian Shelton of the Seattle power-violence outfit Regional Justice Center. As a full band, Pretty Matty last released their self-titled debut full length on Get Better Records in 2019. Sad Baxter issued the So Happy EP in 2018, with a few digital singles arriving online in the year since.
