At times raw and raucous like a rock and roll record should be, and yet balanced by the warmth and honesty of Matthew Ryan's writing, this is the record for us, for them, for now.
Matthew Ryan goes to 11

MatthewRyan's "Boxers” is brutally beautiful, bone-shaking rock & roll, w/ a heart of gold & nerves of steel. His songwriting has never been more polished, more honest, or more passionate. And he delivers those songs with energy and urgency. This is an artist at the top of his game.
Another strong album by Matthew Ryan

I've been listening to this guy for over 15 years and he never disappoints. This album is about of things but I connected to it from the first listen. It's been a while since a record hit me square in the chest on the first listen. Thanks Matthew!
A rock n' roll Oasis…..

This album is testament to a focused man…. The travesty of his limited success is washed away in this powerful and beautiful effort. I hope in a land of musical confusion, people will reboot their ways and get back to the essence of lyric driven blue collar rock and roll. It’s pure… it’s honest… it’s time….for Matthew Ryan.
For the Socs and the Greasers

He could have easily spent his life in slim fit black turtle neck working in the highest and biggest office for The New Yorker but instead he decided to take his lyrical talent and make it available for the masses. I feel sorry for you if you do not buy this album because you are missing out on a real talent in blue jeans.
BEST TO DATE!

I've been listening to MR for 20 years and "Boxers" is his BEST since "Mayday"
If you're not listening to this man, you're missing out on the greatest songwriter since Neil Young. Great work!
Amazing, as always

Matthew Ryan never ceases to disappoint. No two songs are alike, which speaks volumes of his abilities as a writer. I'm always amazed by his ability to create the perfect songs. Very excited to listen and re-listen to this album. I ever tire of his music, and this album is no exception.
A Treasure

The great Matthew Ryan returns to his rock and roll roots and delivers one of his best ever. Very few artist write music of this quality today. Matthew is one of best songwriters and deserves a listen.
