On his third solo single ‘Bleed Me Dry’, UK indie rock artist Mat Hook continues to showcase the nostalgic and thoughtful edge of his dynamic and engrossing sound, complete with the kind of charismatic charm and swagger that the Britpop luminaries of the 90s and 2000s seemed to take over the world with.

The new track has an optimistic and alluring feel to it throughout that beams through its more melancholy tone, with the artist taking a look over his life and wondering which direction he should take it in and what journeys and adventures are going to unfold along the way. The track captures the spirit of the end of lockdown, with opportunities opening up again along with the rest of the world, making for a period of adjustment and thought. The laid-back indie rock edge of the sound does a great job of giving it a raw and authentic edge that melds really nicely with the narrative, making for an engrossing listening experience that people wondering where proper British guitar music went will enjoy.
