The The

The The is, and always has been, Matt Johnson.

Founded in 1979, the band has been a guarantor for unique, prescient, fevered songs that resonate with basic truths about the human condition and seem to exist beyond the perishable dictates of fashion and style. Getting worldwide attention with the most critically acclaimed album of the year, 1983 ʼs synth noir classic "Soul Mining", The The finally made their global breakthrough in 1986 with their album "Infected" which featured two of the band’s groundbreaking political singles "Sweet Bird Of Truth" and "Heartland".

Matt Johnson continues to deliver music that speaks to a patiently waiting audience, music of today and the future, and after focusing on solo projects for over 20 years now finally makes the big step back into the limelight with The The.
