“Matt Drenik”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Matt Drenik (born June 18, 1979) is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.

Drenik was the lead singer of Lions, a hard rock, post-grunge band from Austin, Texas. He also performs under the moniker Battleme, a folk rock project that he formed when he moved to Portland, Oregon in 2010. His songs have been featured in numerous American television shows and commercials, including dozens in FX's hit show Sons of Anarchy. His haunting version of Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My" has over 30 million YouTube hits.

Drenik was also a contributing member to Los Angeles-based group The Forest Rangers, alongside Bob Thiele, Dave Kushner, and Katy Sagal.^[1] They served as the house band for Sons of Anarchy. His song "Metal Heavy Lady" was featured in Guitar Hero 3.^[2] Rolling Stone has written about his music,^[3] as well as Billboard, Esquire, MTV,^[4] Rock Sound,^[5] Classic Rock Magazine, Metal Hammer and many others. His most recent recording, "Cult Psychotica", received an 8 out of 10 on All Music with reviewer Matt Collar noting, "the album is a red-eyed collection of fuzzy rock anthems, all centered on Drenik's throaty, nasal-pitched sneer. What he lacks in outright vocal resonance, he makes up for with strutting rock attitude and literate, philosophical lyrics that are equal parts Lou Reed and Elliott Smith."^[6] He's toured with Monster Magnet, Blue Cheer, Metric, Veruca Salt, Toadies and more.

Drenik has worked with dozens of acts as a producer, including a solo effort from Aaron Behrens of Austin-based band Ghostland Observatory.^[7]

As a writer, he's contributed op-ed pieces to American Songwriter,^[8] Magnet, Talkhouse,^[9] and OPB Music.^[10]
