Matthew Grimm & The Red Smear

"...Grimm has few peers. Smart and literate (a dangerous combination), Grimm also knows how to rock and twang with abandon -- an even more dangerous combination."
-San Antonio Express-News

“Grimm sounds something like Michael Stipe and writes electric lyrics by turns gloriously polemical and profane."
-Plaback STL

“Me, I’m gonna play the hell outta this stuff, stick it on mix CDs, blast it on my radio program, rock the tavern on my weekly DJ night and force every hard-working, beer-guzzling, non-voting dumbass friend I have to listen to every word of it.”
-Pulse of the Twin Cities



Matthew Grimm, frontman of New York's most famous obscure rock & roll band, the late-ish, great-ish Hangdogs, returned to his native Iowa and quickly became the state's most blacklisted rock & roll troubadour. His music is humbucker-driven, unabashed leftist rock & roll with heavy doses of punk and spices of heartland roots rock.
