Australian Singer-Songwriter and Guitarist Joe Matera Releases New CD on Dutch Label RVPrecords

MELBOURNE, Australia - Oct. 3, 2017 - PRLog -- Heart of Stone is the title of both the new single and the new EP by Australian rocker Joe Matera, released on September 29. The new release is infused with an international flavour as the Australian is working together with a Dutch record company, and the single is also a full Swedish production. Both the musicians, producer, and those who mastered "Heart of Stone" come from Sweden. Matera wrote his single together with Swedish bass player Peter Ljungberg while Tomas Skogsberg (Backyard Babies, Entombed, The Hellacopters) produced the track with Matera.

The EP features both an electric full-band and an acoustic version of "Heart of Stone," a song about a love gone wrong and the emotional fall-out of someone left questioning "why?"

The EP also features three acoustic live tracks recorded in London during one of Matera's earlier European tours, and a brand new instrumental track, "Live To Rock" where Matera is accompanied by Australian guitar icon Rick Brewster (The Angels).

As a bonus, two previously released singles are included to round out the EP. "Heart of Stone" is Joe Matera's fifth studio release since venturing out on a solo career in 2010 and his second release on Netherlands-based record label RVPrecords.

The new EP is now available worldwide as a digipack CD in stores and via the webstore of RVPrecords, plus as a digital download and stream in Europe.

For American and Canadian fans, the title track is released as a single and is available as a digital download only from all digital outlets in those territories such as iTunes, Spotify and Amazon: https://itunes.apple.com/album/id1288297650?ls=1&app=itunes

The new release will be accompanied by a Swedish tour in October.

Joe Matera keeps to a busy touring schedule both in his native Australia and Europe. During these tours he has performed in bars, halls and festivals in Poland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, England and the Netherlands. In concert, he has also supported the likes of artists such as Australian legends Mental As Anything and '70's tartan sensations from Scotland, Bay City Rollers.
