Greymatter - Hands on Fire
"In a music world currently dominated by manufactured bands, and soap stars turned pop singers, it is refreshing to find a new talent with original material. Greymatter, a four-piece girl band from the south east of England, who have recently released their debut album bring a breath of fresh air to the current gay music scene.
‘Hands on Fire’ is an exciting mix of emotive ballads and upbeat tracks brought alive by the perfectly balanced voices of vocalists Payne and Kavanagh. The theme running throughout the album explores the breakdown in relationships, the excitement of finding new love and brings to life the spine tingling excitement of intimacy. The poignant lyrics and beautifully layered harmonies result in a collection of tracks that tug at the heart strings and strike a note in the mind of anyone who’s had joy or misfortunes in love. However, the album is not all ‘lesbian angst’ and the upbeat ‘State 6’ and ‘Somewhere after Midnight’ leave you humming along long after you’ve finished listening. And in ‘Now We Shall Begin’, writer and vocalist, Georgey Payne shows her true talent for capturing and expressing what everyone else is feeling, with her suggestive lyrics and smooth riffs.
‘Hands on Fire’ is probably one of the most exciting debut albums from a girl band to reach the gay music scene since the emergence of the Indigo Girls. A collaboration of thoughtfully mixed harmonies, layered instrumentals and beautifully expressive lyrics culminates in an album that belongs in the record collection of any self-respecting music lover."

Greymatter, the all girl band from Berkshire, are taking the local music scene by storm. The combination of their yearning lyrics and rocky sound, have captured the interest of many within the audiences they have performed for.
The band originally formed in 2000 when George Payne, a talented singer / songwriter, joined up with Emma Kavanagh, who's distinctive harmonies were able to do justice to the empowering and intense songs penned by George. The result was a raw, distinctive sound that played from the heart.
Three years later and the group has grown in numbers. The introduction of Susan Kempton, one of the most natural guitarists on the local music scene, and Julie Boyce, their extrovert bass player, has put the finishing touches to an already unique sound, adding depth and interest to the songs that are currently being laid down for their first album.
Recent performances at the Isle of Wight and the Reading Abbey Festivals have confirmed the popularity of the group, with many of the girls’ fans appreciating the band-audience bond that is so evident when they perform.
