Matt speaks to The Rag about Musicians Against Bullying

Matthew chatted with THE RAG and had this to say about the upcoming “Musicians Against Bullying” benefit show:

“The lyrical undertones of our music speak to those who have endured and overcome personal struggles. I personally believe no one shoul allow themselves to be victimized by the ignorance of others. DFH is about self-empowerment. In order to achieve that status you must have an outlet that allows you to find your true potential as an individual; skin that you feel comfortable in; the confidence to stand up for yourself and what you believe in. Music did that for us. Hopefully being part of this show will continue to allow us the opportunity to spread that message to those who need a reminder.” Matthew Paul

“Speak Into My Good Eye”

Here’s a little DFH mention on speakimg.com

New Jersey’s Dead Fish Handshake has released a new single named “Leave The Light On” in hopes of using this subdued and uplifting piece of Alt-Rock balladry as a vehicle to raise funds for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The track originally appeared on the outfit’s 2011 EP Across State Lines [it was actually from the 2012 EP The Sixes (DFH)] but has since been plucked from that compilation for this special release. Stream it below, purchase here, and help make a difference. All proceeds will be donated to the Monmouth County Food Bank.

Dead Fish Handshake – Leave the Light On: Hurricane Sandy Benefit

On October 29th, Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast US, including our home-state of New Jersey. So many people affected in so many ways.

We, in Dead Fish Handshake, wanted to be able to give back and help in any way possible. All proceeds from this release will be donated to help those residents who’ve endured so much loss and pain.

All (100%) proceeds of Dead Fish Handshake’s “Leave the Light On” benefit The Monmouth County Food Bank.
