To find out more about MidReflection, we asked vocalist Matthew Bishop (aka 2Ts) to take on our A-Z challenge and tell us more!
A song that made you want to make music?
Well that’s a tough one to start with. I couldn’t really tell you because I’ve been influenced by so many different artists it’s tricky to pin point one particular song.
Best rider you’ve ever had?
I’ll assume that you mean cider. If that’s the case then probably Magners.
Craziest thing you’ve experienced in the band?
Having some crazy chick from Thailand throwing herself on me as well as following me around after a show we did.
Deepest lyric one of your songs features?
“If you don’t give a f*** about me while I’m alive, don’t you dare pretend like you care when I die.”
Easiest song you wrote?
No song I write is easy. It takes a lot of time and dedication for me write songs which is always challenging.
Favourite song in your set?
At this present moment I’d have to say the EP’s title track “Outcast“.
Guest you’d most like to feature on your record?
My cousin Sutt from Temporal Detail. He’s a dope Aussie MC.
Hardest thing about being in a band?
Spending lot’s and lot’s of my free time trying to write the best lyrics I possibly can.
Interesting fact about one of your members?

One Night in Kent…
Key to writing a song?
Finding inspiration.
Longest distance you’ve travelled to play a show?

Temporal Detail.
