Max Matthew – Dead of the Night


Max Matthew, the dynamic pop-rock duo of Matt DePaolo and Max Cappello, is back with their latest single, “Dead of the Night,” and it’s nothing short of a late-night anthem. Known for their infectious blend of danceable pop, blues-infused guitar riffs, and singalong vocals, the duo has carved out a space where feel-good vibes collide with authentic songwriting. But in “Dead of the Night,” they dive deeper, embracing a slightly darker, more reflective tone without losing their signature energy.

“Dead of the Night” quickly establishes the groove, thanks to a pulsating bassline that wouldn’t be out of place on a late-’80s new wave record. As the track builds, Cappello’s bluesy guitar work cuts through with just the right amount of distortion, giving the song a gritty edge that contrasts beautifully with DePaolo’s smooth, emotive vocals. The track finds Max Matthew expanding their sonic palette. While previous singles like “Hazy” channeled easygoing, feel-good vibes perfect for summer playlists, their latest offering takes a different turn—more introspective, more poignant, and darker in tone, yet with the same rhythmic propulsion that’s become their signature.

The chorus is an undeniable earworm, exploding into a cathartic release that will have you belting along on the first listen. It’s clear Max Matthew knows how to craft a hook that sticks, but this time around, they’ve paired it with an emotional depth that showcases their growth as artists. The production is tight and polished, with just enough grit to keep it from feeling too glossy, and the subtle layering of harmonies adds richness to the track.

“Dead of the Night” balances introspection with the kind of energy that will still get you on the dance floor — it’s a song for the restless souls who crave both a good time and a moment of truth. Max Matthew has managed to strike that elusive balance between radio-ready pop and something more raw and real. This track proves they’re not just here to make you dance; they’re here to make you feel.

For those who fell in love with the duo’s upbeat, feel-good anthems, fear not — the positivity is still there, just painted in more complex shades. And for those looking for something with a little more substance to go along with their groove, “Dead of the Night” is the track that’ll hook you.

Max Matthew may have made their name with uplifting jams, but with “Dead of the Night,” they’ve shown they can take us into the shadows and still leave us wanting more.
