Chuck Shute Podcast Matt McCloskey (Rev Theory bass/vocals)
Episode 106 - Matty McCloskey! Matty has been the bassist for Rev Theory since 2002 and recently took over lead vocals. The band has had a lot of success over years, including tours with Motley Crue, Buckcherry, Sevendust, Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown and many more. Their song “Hell Yeah” was all over the place, including in the WWE and NHL (still being played in arenas). Their latest song “Make Me a Drink” is a fun, modern sounding industrial rock song that gets in your head. You’ll be singing it hours later.
