Matt is working to try and put faith-based music into the hands of those kids today. To invest in what they were doing, Eustace, comprised of Matt and Cliff Swaim and Garrett Hodges, has completely focused their efforts this semester on doing that work. Overall the band is on over twenty mp3 stations, which are online mix tapes that reach from Sweden to California. The band has also begun to reach out to a more secular audience, playing their first show at a club for people of all ages in Louisville. They have encouraged more bands to grow and become a part of the Christian music scene here in Kentucky.
Matt seeks to follow the advice that the artist is to make the familiar strange.
He also doesn't want to be alone in his work and has done things to give artists an outlet for their expression. Matt Swaim believes in reaching people and giving them good reason to listen to what he has to say. People have to believe that you're worth listening to before they listen to you, and then they emulate you to extreme extents. Eustace seeks to proclaim the message of Christ through well-crafted music that artistically communicates Christ Jesus. Eustace's goal is to interact with kids on a more personal level, and as evidenced by the young man from Jessamine Central, their work is well on the way.
