Introducing: MT Unveil New Track 'Heaven' - Listen Now - Source: Stereoboard
Describing themselves as sounding like a cross between Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem, MT emerged last year with residencies at Ridley Road Market Bar and KOKO, as well as launching one of 2012's most intriguing singles 'Paranoid People Meet Me in The Middle' to a venue packed to the rafters with 250 of their closest/newest friends and what one record label executive described as "too many balloons".

Jordan Geiger, the occasional Shearwater and Minus Story member, earned Band To Watch status way the hell back in 2008 for recording epic slow-motion indie rock as Hospital Ships, and he's getting ready to release his new album Destruction In Yr Soul. The first song we've heard from it is a triumphant slow-burner called "Come Back To Life," an expertly executed song that reaches for rafters in ways that indie bands dont do too much anymore.

 Quick facts about Rafter
Rafter Roberts stands no taller than the normal human male"� yet his firey red-haired head is filled with the minutiae of music, swirling and churning constantly. Fortunately this leaves little room for fear, of which Rafter has nearly none. His fearlessness has led him to do just about everything he sets his mind to, which of course includes free-for-all rowdy sweatiness, hanky panky and rolling on the stage yelping. Not to mention playing in bands since the age of two, new fatherhood, running a business, goin to shows, building a new studio, makin his own music, recording bands and eating raw"� all without going furiously nuts. This is not a bungee-jump kind of fearlessness, rather it is a willingness to move beyond obstacles (mental or physical) as if they were not actually there, all the while a happy glint resting in his eye. His is a strong will tempered by humor-one of the most intense and powerful music nerds you may ever meet. There is a refreshing lack of poseur hipness to Rafter Roberts, and in it's stead is found a pure enthusiasm for people, for doing it yourself and the helping hand, for kicking against the pricks and kicking out the jams. Growing up in the woody climes of Sebastopol, California, far from the wonders and distractions of the urban scrawl, Rafter fell upon his own noisy tinkerings. Pretty much not a lot to do out there but entertain yourself, and Rafter's not the TV type. His little head exploded with the stoked energy of discovering his passion for playing music and for inscribing it onto magnetic tape. He encountered early critical success in high school with a band called Faucet, the most popular (and only) punk band in town, with audiences of three or four hundred strong. Learn more about Rafter
