Matthew Good

The Vancouver group called the MGB, or the Matthew Good Band, formed in 1995 and quickly began stirring things up in the Canadian world of music. The band's first album, Last of the Ghetto Astronauts, earned the MGB Most Played New Artists for 1996. In 1997, a sophomore album, Underdogs, was recorded in Canada, and "Hello Time Bomb" was the first single released to U.S. audiences. The single was followed by another album in 1999, the accomplished Beautiful Midnight. It was released in Canada first, debuting at number one on the Soundscan chart there, going double platinum, and then hitting the States in January 2000. Good also began issuing material under just his name, beginning with 2003's Avalanche. ~ Charlotte Dillon
