The harrowing experience Matt Bigland went through when hospitalized with ulcerative colitis in critical care is one part of his story. Adjusting to life back home came with several challenges, which he channels on their new single. Sick Of Being Down is a grungy, mesmerizing treatise on the exhaustion of balancing mental health, taking us back to Matt’s lowest point and finding empowerment in how he made it out.
