Though former Means band member Matthew Daniel Goud's roots are in post-hardcore Christian rock, he's developed a distinct sound of his own through his solo project, Northcote. The Victoria-based artist draws comparisons to Bruce Springsteen and Peter Gabriel with his blend of folk-rock vocals and punk spirit, boasting both collaborative releases and three full-length LPs. This month, Northcote will be taking his discography on a cross-Canada tour for the first time since 2013.
Back in November, Exclaim! TV caught up with the singer-songwriter to capture a special performance. With an already stylistically varied career, Northcote took on a Beach Slang cut, offering up a bare bones cover of punk track "Dirty Cigarettes." The performance finds his soothing voice pairing effortlessly with gentle melodic acoustic guitar strums.
