Matthew Milia (Frontier Ruckus) On Calibrating His Music and Creativity Through New Phases of Life
Episode description
Matthew Milia is a critically acclaimed songwriter, best known as the lead singer and guitarist for Frontier Ruckus. He is also a poet and visual artist.
He’s released three solo records as well as five records with his band Frontier Ruckus. His music explores themes of suburbia, nostalgia, mundanity , and his lyrics paint a sprawling landscape of a Michigan that is both here and elsewhere.
We talked with Milia about where he’s at creatively these days, how getting a desk job wasn’t about compromising his music, but calibrating it to a new phase of his life, and more.
Hosted by Phillip Russell and Ben Thorp
