MUSIC

COMMANDO

Commando is Matt Cook's synth-driven indie-rock solo project. An album is currently in the works.

DULL SPECIES

Dull Species is a remote songwriting collaboration between Matt Cook, Chris Belcher, Ryan Micklos, Davin Sanchez, and Chris Trott formed in an attempt to fend off the malaise and existential dread brought on by the events of 2020. Singles will continue to be released while an album is in the works.

THE WHISKEY FOUNTAYNES

Born around a campfire, The Whiskey Fountaynes are a 100% for-fun classic rock project for long-time friends, Matt Cook, Carlo Johnson, Phil Swasey, Adam Miller, and Wesley Wiencek. Once a year, The Whiskey Fountaynes reunite somewhere in America to perform.

FIGHTERO

Fightero (2006-2008) started as a solo project for Matt Cook, but quickly turned into a complete live band once Phil Swasey, Adam Miller, Wes Wiencek, and Tito Blanes came on board. The band played for a year in Orlando, debuting at the Florida Music Festival in 2006, and then moved to New York and continued to make music together until 2008.
