The debut solo album from British Singer/songwriter MATT MITCHELL (PRIDE/FURYON/COLOUR OF NOISE) is OUT NOW. Released in May 2019 under the moniker of MATT MITCHELL & THE COLDHEARTS, the album was recorded last year at the legendary ROCKFIELD STUDIOS in Wales.

Matt started out singing and writing songs in his late teens, learning his craft in several bands early on. He later found himself as the voice of AOR band PRIDE, releasing two albums in the mid 2000’s on EMI Toshiba/Pointmusic.

FURYON formed out of the ashes of PRIDE and really took things to the next level, as a heavier style evolved. Much love and praise followed from the likes of CLASSIC ROCK & METAL HAMMER magazines.The band had a great run touring the UK and Europe, as well as performing at several major festivals including DOWNLOAD, BLOODSTOCK and Poland’s gigantic WOODSTOCK festival.

Not long after the release of the second album, FURYON was put on ice. At this point Matt began a partnership with LITTLE ANGELS guitarist Bruce John Dickinson, forming the much lighter, bluesy sounding COLOUR OF NOISE. A good two year run was had with the band. An album was released, followed by plenty of touring around the UK, opening for THUNDER in Europe and yet more major festival slots, including DOWNLOAD and RAMBLIN’ MAN FAIR. COLOUR OF NOISE were to leave things on a high in 2017.

With one door closing, another soon opened in the shape of MATT MITCHELL & THE COLDHEARTS - essentially, Matt's solo project with an array of extremely talented guest players.

The project got off to a great start, with the first single BLACK DIAMONDS being championed across the UK and the rest of the globe by numerous radio stations. PLANET ROCK RADIO really worked their magic when the song was immediately added to the B list, and from there straight onto their prestigious A list. It remained there for weeks, reaching the No. 1 slot on their playlist chart!

The fantastic response continues with the second single HOME also being added to the PLANET ROCK playlist!
