MATILDA is a name for a battleground maiden. It is taken from the names of different legendary women warriors of twelfth and thirteenth century England, who fought for their rights.
Like the femme fatale name, Matilda is an army herself as she confronts the local rock scene predominantly ruled by men. With the band’s erratic feminine stereotype mostly branded as androgynous, one can expect from this group an unconventional hybrid of music whose identity tears down the preconceived notions of girl bands.
Matilda, the clever, precocious and powerful character of the child protagonist of Roald Dahl’s book, “Matilda”, has qualities that mirror the individual traits of the band’s members as well as the whole group’s own aura.
Matilda’s music isn’t confined to a fixed genre but it acknowledges its heavy leanings on goth, grunge, heavy metal, rock, and, classical influences.
With Charms Tianzon on vocals; Meryl Antonio on guitars; Yvette Tunguia on bass; Jovi Reyes on drums; and Maricor Reyes on the violin, all together they raise a following wherever their music takes a visit.
