Matthew Davidson Releases "Step Up" EP, featuring Joe Osborn (Notreble.com - Sept. 13, 2012)
"There is no doubt in my mind, after listening to "Step Up", that Matthew Davidson is certainly the real deal, being equally proficient in both Pop/Rock and Blues genres. He is already great in what he does and the sky is the limit regardless of which musical direction he chooses to dominate. "Step Up" is a fantastic intro to a fantastic very talented rising star."
"Wonder kid Matthew Davidson may only be 14 but he definitely knows a little something about the blues. Step Up is only a taste of what is to come for Matthew. His mature funk'd out guitar skills are inevitably demonstrative of this kids natural talent and devotion to music. You'll never hear another 14-year-old hone that Louisiana Southern blues-funk rhythm the way that Davidson has." ~Kimmie Tubre, Where Y'at Magazine, New Orleans, LA - Dec. 2012
"Matthew Davidson is a hell of guitar player. The scrubbed, grinning Shreveport 14-year-old, Ferris Buhler-looker demonstrates on this impeccably produced demo an understanding of tone and pacing, a sense of when to hold back and then to set a song ablaze. Producer and bassist Joe Osborn (of the famed L.A. Wrecking Crew; that's him on the 5th Deminsions' "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" among countless hits) frames the phenom in pop and blues contexts on Step Up to show the versatility of his ward. By far, the best tune is the last eponymous track, the only song penned by the rising star." ~Alex V. Cook, Offbeat Magazine, New Orleans, ,LA - Jan. 2013

Matthew Davidson Releases "Step Up" EP, featuring Joe Osborn (Notreble.com - Sept. 13, 2012)“Davidson's talent is no secret. A remarkable introduction to the 14-year-old, Matthew Davidson proves he's a force to be reckoned with on his debut release Step Up." Annie Reuter, Associate Music Producer at CBS Radio – Brooklyn, NY
Review: "Blues Underground Network" - John Vermilyea - Sept. 22, 2012
"Matthew Davidson has a new record and a snappy, all-teen band. He also has a scene, a crowd, a gang of all ages that love his good-time blues and rock. Davidson's new 4-song record is rich of sound. Produced by industry veteran Joe Osborn, 2 of the tunes are commercial pop. The 3rd tune is the R n B staple "Lie to Me". Here Davidson clearly feels the vibe. Cut 4 is a rock instrumental written by the 14-year-old. It sounds like a groove that could have been cut by the Uniques or by the Kinks. Classic Rocker!"
