Two beings seem to be competing for Portland singer Matthew Heller’s soul. One is a snarling, “Stick-it-to-the-Man” folk-blues-buzz-rocker who, despite all his rage, is still just slightly less angry than Billy Corgan, although Heller probably has more real reasons for his angst than his multi-platinum counterpart. – Rob Cullivan, The Portland Tribune
Matthew Heller a pianist and songwriter from Portland Or. has gracefully emerged with his self-titled new music release “Matthew Heller” with excellent reviews and eight inspiring songs surrounding his life, family and friends. -Our City Radio.com
Heller has created a brand of angsty, thrashingly soulful folk-rock that is entirely his own. – Alec Cunningham, BLANK
