The Average Deep (1991-1995)

 

matthew's very first band, formed in Weatherford, TX by high school chums and fortified in college years by Bowie, TX transplants Jason "Shithead" Jackson and James Dunn. That lineup, pictured here, called it quits in 1995 due to diverging musical directions.

Not much of decent sound quality survives the band, but here are a couple that matthew likes:
