ALBUM OUT NOW

THE SOUL FOOD STORE

‘Imagine Joe Cocker, Santana, Prince, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles having an impromptu late-night jam. The result might sound like the music on ‘The Soul Food Store’ – this album is a tribute to the freedom of
music to engage, lift and inspire. This music flies free.’

GREAT MUSIC STORIES – 5/5 Album Of The Month

‘Second album from Matt Pearce & The Mutiny and what a belter it is. Steeped in Memphis style soul food Groooove, Matt Pearce has a voice that is full throated and ballsy – think Paul Rodgers crossed with Robert Palmer – and plays some seriously funky guitar.’

MUSIC NEWS – 4/5

‘Never was an album more aptly titled… we’re only in March and I think this album is gonna be one of the best of the year.’

STEVE SWIFT (Powerplay)

‘Classic, pulsating blues-rock… a varied set with elements of Latin, funk and soul, absorbed into a sound perfectly poised between blues and rock.’

RnR MAGAZINE

‘It’s a hook-laden pleasure… even as Pearce knocks out some Duane Allman-sweet slide breaks it remains all about the song. The Soul Food Store is music with a smile on its face, and it works an absolute treat.’

BLUES ENTHUSED

‘Matt and his band create gritty-blue euphonies set against poignant soulful canvasses. Matt’s voice is top-grade: smooth as silk, sweet as honey, mellow as applewood charcoal, and holy-high as a bell-tower. The flawless guitar is keen and acute. These songs are filled with life-affirming celebration. Sit down (or better still, get up and dance) to this yummy luxuriation!’

RAWRAMP – 5/5

‘Funkadelic meets the Blues. There wasn’t a single tune on this album which I either didn’t tap my feet, play air guitar, or just sit back and chill while listening to. Pearce has some chops with his guitar playing, which is top-notch throughout and blends in with all the genres with consummate ease. Cool man, very cool.’

ROCK & ROLL CIRCUS RADIO

‘No matter what your musical preference is, there is something there for everyone, it feeds your soul and leaves you hungry for more.’

HRH MAGAZINE

‘Stand back and feel the energy and soul oozing from this incredible record, this is a real contender for album of the year for sure.’

JACE MEDIA

‘A freshly made, tasty slice of musical goodness… a funky dollop of up-tempo, soul-swinging horn-backed deliciousness… funkadelic soul-blues of the snappiest order… I’m immediately going back for seconds.’

FABRICATIONSHQ

‘A heaping helping of extra-tasty rocking blues, rock & roll, and funky grooves. These spicy ingredients make The Soul Food Store as interesting to listen to as it is to dance to. Pearce fearlessly follows his vision wherever it leads and we get to reap the rewards of his quest; positive, uplifting tunes delivered with passion and gusto.’

ROCK & BLUES MUSE

‘A recipe to warm your soul. There’s a definite fiesta feel about this that makes you want to shimmy on into The Soul Food Store and stay awhile to experience more delights.’

ERB MAGAZINE – 4.5/5

‘The Soul Food Store is an aptly titled project. Matt Pearce digs deep on his sophomore album for a Southern feel, rooted in funk, soul and a bluesy undertow, without losing any of his trademark rock intensity. Above all, it’s fuelled by the twin imperatives of good songs and stellar playing, roots rocking never sounded so good.’

PETE FEENSTRA (GRTR)

‘Firstly this record is just great fun from start to finish. Secondly, this never detracts from the sheer quality on show here, from the songs themselves. The only thing more enjoyable than this album would be the chance to catch these songs performed live in all their glory.’

FATEA MAGAZINE

‘An album packed with funky rock tunes. Music to make you move and groove, a crowd-pleasing album. Check out the guitar soloing… wow.’

GAMES, BRRRAAAINS & A HEAD-BANGING LIFE

‘The Soul Food Store’ is the latest album by Matt Pearce & The Mutiny, released through Mutinear Records. Reaching #1 in the UK Blues Charts, the self-produced album features Matt as lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, aided and abetted by some top tier, London blues scene talent.

Matt explains how the album came about:

“So… what is ‘The Soul Food Store’? A place, a state of mind, a feeling? When the song came along, mid-lockdown, it seemed to tie together all the songs I’d been working on, gave it a focus.”

“I wanted my album to be what my favourite music is to me, somewhere to go to be happy, laugh, sing, dance, forget all my troubles, or be comforted despite them. These 11 songs run the gamut of my musical influences, if ‘Gotta Get Home’ was a statement of intent, that bluesy rock could be funky, then this album is about me being at home, with all the music I love.

So as well as the funk and the rockin’ blues there’s some soul, and ballads, and psychedelia, and maybe even a little disco vibe creepin’ in… All the sounds that put a smile on my face and that I hope will do the same to you. But to get back to ‘The Soul Food Store’… the whole point of this album is to combat the negativity that’s so easy to give in to these days, and like the old song, accentuate the positive! But always with a grooove… As the last song on the album says, ‘everybody should be king of their world every day…’

So… ‘The Soul Food Store’ is open, you coming in..?”

''As if Prince is jamming with Bonamassa. One of the most confident, classy and promising blues debuts in ages.''

‘A swishy, funky display of blues’n’roll,
there are more-ish chops aplenty.’

CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE

‘Think Stevie Ray Vaughan guesting with Gov’t Mule and you are getting close to the excellence on display. If this album had been released by one of the ‘established’ blues giants, it would be lauded to the skies… and so it should be. 10/10’

TOM DIXON, BLUESDOODLES

‘A guitarist of real skill… an ability to craft and develop memorable songs. An all round talent, that’s rare.’

MALCOLM DOME (RIP), CLASSIC ROCK

‘A welcome shot in the arm to blues rock. Sounds vintage and modern at the same time!’

DARREN REDICK, PLANET ROCK

‘Pearce has a highly individual style, and presents this collection of songs with an assurance and confidence that so many musicians lack. The result is a superb debut album that grabs you from the opening chord to the last one, and deserves multiple listens.’

UBER ROCK

‘The star of the album is his guitar playing, which is melodic and emotive. The songwriting is also very good. 7.5/10.’

STEVEN OVADIA, BLUES ROCK REVIEW

‘Exemplary playing, well-written, produced and arranged songs – delivered with confidence.
What’s not to love about that? ****’

GET READY TO ROCK

JACE MEDIA

‘Expert blues-guitar wrapped around elements of soul and funk adding up to a tasty dish which oozed quality.’

METALTALK

‘The tracks make for charming and easy listening – there aren’t many under the blues spell who would turn their nose up at a spicy mix of Crowes, Purple and Bonamassa.’

HEAVY MAG

‘It’s technically great and gorgeously satisfying and for that earns a 5/5’

ROCK MEDIA UK

‘Well here’s an unexpected pleasure – and it’s pretty damn good, folks. An album of originals that’s imbued with appealing freshness and enthusiasm from start to finish, a sound that is distinctively and effectively that of Matt Pearce & The Mutiny.’

BLUES ENTHUSED

‘What a joy it is, this will funkfortify your day…It has a bootsy groove and is sufficiently power-packed with everlasting soul to bring you eternal jubilation.’

NEIL MACH, RAWRAMP

‘This is an excellent, refreshingly varied debut, sonically immaculate and choc-full of great songs which show just how far their creator’s considerable talents extend.’

CAMERON ARNDT, ROCK AND ROLL TRAFFIC

‘Imagine funk played by the best blues jam band around. ‘Set Me Free’ is a classic in waiting, it is sublime blues that very few can create these days. 5/5.’

TOM DIXON, RAMZINE

''This was a show that merged smoky blues with Philadelphia soul to create a variety of funkadelic vibrations that were all beautifully crafted and performed by the Mutineers with enthusiastic excellence.''
