A tweet from Matt Flood's old band.

There's actually quite a bit of documentation on Matt Flood's old band, Silhouettes. In fact they have a Twitter that is still up, and they were active in 2016.

This is an interview with one of the guys from Matt Flood's old band, Silhouettes, from early March, 2015. For some reason, the actual link to this interview doesn't work anymore( even thought it did this morning), so I had to take my chances with the Wayback Machine. But anyway, the original link had a band photo that obviously featured OUR Matt Flood, so I know this is it.

Matt has said that when Silhouettes broke up, he didn't do anything musically for several years, until he was asked by Chris McIntosh to join his and Benji Wilson's band. (According to the lore, Chris and Benji were in a band called Faultlines and they chose to dissolve and start over when their singer left.) In this interview, Matt actually says it was 5 or 6 years, where he didn't do anything musically at all. However, if I'm not mistaken, it's also been said that Chris and Benji knew they wanted to work with him because of a show they saw, presumably in 2017 with Silhouettes. Caskets was formed, as "Captives" in 2018. And as I said, the Silhouettes interview I linked above is from 2015... So where is that 5 or 6 year period where Matt's not doing anything musically?

In that Caskets interview, he specifically said it was 5 or 6 years, where he'd quit music "all together", and I'm just a little confused on that, because there's not a 5 or 6 year span between Silhouettes being active and him joining Caskets. If Silhouettes broke up in 2015, which I don't think they did, that would only be 3 years until 2018.

Incidentally, here is the tumblr for Faultlines, and an interview with them as well.

Matt Flood - Caskets 'A Lot Can Happen In Five Years'

We chat with Caskets frontman Matt Flood about the band's five year plan, touring Australia again and turning his life around for music and

Matt says in this interview that when Caskets was formed, he was living in a halfway house and was dealing with a drug problem... That might put anything stupid he might have done when he was younger into a bit more perspective.

Incidentally, this is a fking cool picture.
