		Sharp, who is well-known as both the former bass player for Weezer and frontman of The Rentals respectfully, is now ready to bare his soul as a solo artist with the release of his self-titled solo debut.
		Cuomo and Sharp played two of Sharp's songs followed by two Weezer standards for the roomful of fans, and Sharp remarks that despite all the delight and positivity, it was still a bit nerve-wracking.
		Sharp's lawsuit against the band in 2001 was a change of pace from the silence that befell his separation from the band three years prior.

	CD Baby: MATT SHARP (OF WEEZER, THE RENTALS): Puckett's Versus The Country Boy
		Matt Sharp has done it again, he has given us yet another great cd, only it was just so short, being the fan I am, I really wanted more.
		Matt has taken a step back from all of the massive musicail numbers and settles on an acoustic feel, but the lyrics and trade mark voice are very strong.
		Matt Sharp's first solo release is good, and worth having if your a fan, however Goodbye Westcoast overshadows the rest of the disc, which intern fails which falls short of matching any of Sharp's previous work.

		Matt Sharp was also front man for The Rentals before that, so even if you've never heard of him, you'll doubtlessly have heard him one way or another.
		But don't dwell on that thought for too long, because regardless of his previous excursions, and despite being away from the limelight for a number of years, Matt Sharp has produced a delicious 11-track journey for us to experience.
		Matt might not have the greatest voice you've ever heard wafting over a delicately strummed guitar, but he's certainly got a voice that most bas players would kill for.

		Sharp then told a brief story about his move to Tennessee to work on his forthcoming album and then after announcing that "it may be kind of a mellow night," he went into a song called "Thoughts From A Long Train," while images of locomotives flashed on the screen behind him.
		Sharp followed this lighthearted tune with yet another story, this one about when he was a little boy.
		In fact, Sharp's storytelling abilities not only could give the legendary Ramblin' Jack Elliot a run for his money, but more often than not they were the hi-lite of the more than 2 hour show.

		The Rentals front man and founding weezer member, Matt Sharp has released a bold and astonishing debut solo album through Boompa Records.
		The bold and sensuous sound of Matt Sharp, with its potent silences and eerie aural textures, is worlds apart from the bubbly synth-pop that gave birth to his early success.
		In the album's opener "All Those Dreams", a near motionless piano slowly gives way to a dim-lit instrumentation with Sharp's vocal asking: "Did all those dreams turn out the way they should be?".

		When he was the bassist in Weezer, Matt Sharp was the extrovert in the band, acting as the foil for Rivers Cuomo's introverted on-stage persona.
		As the leader of the Rentals, Sharp kept the party going with the group's cheerful new wave/retro-rock, but after their second album stiffed in 1999, he disappeared from the spotlight.
		It's more lo-fi and more work than Sea Change, and it's also moodier: all the tempos are slow, the dynamics are hushed, the melodies are subtle, and the vocals are whispered, creating an insular feel that takes some work to penetrate.

		So went Matt Sharp’s nightly declaration this past year as he humbly shuffled his way from one town to the next, performing songs from an album that didn’t have a chance at the same success he found with Weezer and the Rentals.
		But there’s genuine hurt beneath all of this, and whenever Sharp finds himself in songs with both arch and ache (as he does on sad-eyed piano ballad “Before You Go”), he bravely steps forward as a man with nothing left to lose.
		MAGNET found Sharp at a coffee shop near his home in the Silver Lake section of Los Angeles, where he talked of his unknown future and often celebrated past.
