Matt Riddle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matt Riddle is an American punk rock bassist who has been a part of some of the genre's more notable bands. He was the original bass player for Face to Face, which was founded in Victorville, California, in the early 1990s. After the band's major-label debut "Big Choice" was released in 1995, Riddle parted ways with Face to Face due to personal conflicts with singer/guitarist Trever Keith. He then joined No Use for a Name in 1996 after the band's fourth full-length, Leche Con Carne (1995) and made his recording debut on the band's Making Friends record in 1997. He also played briefly for the punk bands Pulley and 22 Jacks. He currently resides in the Victorville area and is still touring and recording with No Use for a Name. Riddle and Keith have reportedly reconciled their differences, but there are no plans for a Face to Face reunion (the band broke up in 2004 with Keith as the only remaining original member). Riddle did, however, provide liner notes for a Face to Face collection entitled "Shoot the Moon" in 2005. Then in February of 2008, face to face did reunite but Riddle wasn't a part of said reunion.
