Matt Holt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matt Holt is the current vocalist of Nothingface, and ex-member of "Kingdom of Snakes" where he was a vocalist and guitarist (one of three).

Matt was raised in Washington, D.C. During high school he met Tommy Sickles through mutual friends. Matt, Tommy, and two other friends merged to form a band known as "Ingredient 17", where he played guitar and was the vocalist. After playing a show with a band known as Nothingface, the two bands became familiar with one another.

Ingredient 17 was later recording in Nothingface bassist Bill Gaal's studio when Nothingface's vocalist, David Gabbard, left the band citing musical differences. Matt then tried out to be the new vocalist, and was accepted.

After releasing four studio albums (Pacifier, An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity, Violence, and Skeletons), Nothingface disbanded on February 10, 2004. Shortly after, Matt joined a band called "Kingdom of Snakes", formed by Bill Gaal, former bass player of Nothingface. Matt later left the band to pursue other interests.

In December of 2005, Nothingface released new music on their website, which revealed three members of the band (Matt, Tom Maxwell, Tommy Sickles) had been reunited secretly for awhile. Joined by Danzig's bass player, Jerry Montano, Nothingface is preparing a fifth studio album.
