Matt Cutshall has truly been living out his best life in recent years, filming videos with the likes of Ronnie Winter (The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus), Ryan Key (Yellowcard), and even Tony Hawk, producing some truly fantastic content alongside his partner Arielle Vandenberg.
It started out as nostalgic parody, but the boundaries have very much been blurred at this point, becoming a real life emo icon and using Kickstarter to help fund a full length album.
Red Light Kisser is the latest offering from Your Broken Hero’s forthcoming debut album, featuring Jordan Pundik of New Found Glory fame, and co-written and produced by Andrew Goldstein, a man that’s helped pen and produce some huge hits in the past including Blackbear’s Hot Girl Bummer and All Time Low’s Monsters.
There’s a huge amount of sheen and polish to the production here, Jordan Pundik’s vocals sit extremely well in the sound, and the references to the likes of Taking Back Sunday and Silverstein can’t help but raise a nostalgic smile. It’s catchy, it’s well put together, and with a chorus that’s sure to be lodged in your brain for weeks to come.
Matt Cutshall has done himself proud here, putting together a piece of music that easily could have been a huge hit 20 years ago, yet also feels at home in the current wave of emo revival.
It was never a phase, and Red Light Kisser is an absolute emo banger.
