timesnewsonline | Tri-Cities Scene: The Matthew Sykes Interview @timesnewsonline | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Matthew Sykes has been a fixture on the local music scene for several years now - whether playing horns in Demon Waffle, drums for Jacob Moore, bass for Lucille Klement, or fronting his own band, The Kindest People - and he's a busy guy.

So, what do busy guys do in their off time? They work harder and start indie labels to help their friends. With Downspout Records, Matthew has promoted and recorded some of the area's best bands and he continues to stay on the edge of what's happening, leading the charge.

I caught up with him in downtown Johnson City to see what's going on, what's going down, and how it's going. Check it out.
