Name: Matthew Hinderer

Instrument: Lead Vocals

Home Town: Canton, Ohio

Matthew has been singing and playing drums throughout northern Colorado in the 90's with bands like Hidden Fury and Krysis after which he started going in and out of studios writing lyrics and music for original projects like Sudden Impulse, 99Years and an international project called Viedras(the Bucket) that scored on the Billboard chart in Lithuania and Russia in 1997 with a song called The Sound Of Hell Is Ringing.

Matthew has excelled as a showman touring with national country acts like CZ Express, and the Brandy Lee Band, then decided to get back to his metal roots in 2005 with his high energy and natural intense vocal ability and wrote an album out of South Carolina with the band Sykotic who opened up for the band Broken Teeth - formally Dangerous Toys.

Performing for Rocking metal crowds of all ages and being brand new to VA, I look forward to sweating and singing my ass off for all the Crystal's Wild Child fans all over the state.
