The tracks I’ve listened to by NONVIOLENCE are energetic, indie rock masterpieces. The vocals are both powerful and emotive, while remaining raw and real. The songs often tilt in unexpected directions, demanding multiple listens. Even more impressive is the drive band leader Joshua R. Lewis has shown to push the boundaries of what it means to be an independent artist.

ABOUT MATT
First let me say that I represent Brooklyn but I was raised out of Jersey.
Now then, I wrote my first song when I was four years old, sitting on the floor of my father’s office, in a Manhattan law firm, where he was not happy. The song was called Beep-Beep-Bop-Bop-Bop-Beep – that was the hook anyway. Recording it on my dad’s Dictaphone, the message I was trying to get across was that brushing your teeth is fun, and important. Now my father is a psychologist and he is happy.
