    You're standing there at a pot luck in the fellowship hall of a church you're visiting. Just when you think nobody will pay attention to you, a friendly guy jumps out from behind the shrimp salad, and asks your name. You reply, and without hesitation, he shouts... Um, okay, you see the point. We've come to expect quality from anything Matt Patrick does, and this record, appropriately titled What's Your Name?, is no different, with a strong affinity for funk, rap, and electricity. In the midst of an almost too poppy song, a rock & roll guitar solo will scurry across the floor. "Toss It Around" could practically be an EDL song, and the electronics in a few of the songs are a nice change from the band's old material.
