Northcote

Northcote is the moniker of Canadian singer, songwriter and guitarist Matthew Goud. He spent eight years as guitarist and second vocalist of the post-hardcore band Means, which signed to Facedown Records in 2006, and between tours began playing acoustic solo shows in his home province of Saskatchewan. His debut EP, Borrowed Chords, Tired Eyes, was recorded in 2009 in the back of a yoga studio in Regina; the full-length Gather No Dust followed in 2011, then the self-titled Northcote with Juno-winning producer Colin Stewart, written in his van along the Victoria waterfront, Hope Is Made of Steel (2015) and Let Me Roar (2020). He has shared stages with Frank Turner, The Gaslight Anthem, Corb Lund and Lindi Ortega.
