Matthew Edward Cole is a British singer and Radio Presenter from Tunbridge Wells. He is most noted for his work in Joeyfat and also for his work for the BBC.

Music career

In 1991 he formed the post-hardcore collective Joeyfat and spent the early 1990s releasing music with a number of independent record labels including Fierce Panda, as well as touring with the likes of Green Day, China Drum, Jawbox, and Scarfo.

In 1996 Joeyfat went their separate ways in 1996, to pursue other projects and Jason went on to form Club Giants.^[1]

Around 2000 Matthew got back together with Joeyfat to play a series of shows to promote The Unwilling Astronaut, a sixteen track collection of studio, live and session work spanning the years 1991 to 1996. They have since remained together, and have been playing gigs at a steady rate and releasing occasional tracks.

Their most recent, thirteen-track album, You Can Change People's Lives With Your Mouth / The House of the Fat was released on CD, and limited edition vinyl, in 2003 on Unlabel. Also in July 2003, Joeyfat recorded a Peel Session for BBC Radio 1.^[2]

Radio career

Cole joined the BBC in 1998 and currently commentates on all Gillingham FC matches for BBC Radio Kent^[3] as well as working on other shows during the week.^[4]
