Matthew Cohen

Time for some classic Halloween films, beer and Friday night food. Candles lit and mood set. Cheers all, and have a spectacularly spooky evening 👻🎃🍻xx

Expectations can weigh us down, but even in the darkest moments, light finds a way through.

Life isn’t always easy, but it means something, and so do you. Be good, be kind and be true. Keep fighting the good fight.

Much love ✨☺️ xx

I love discovering new beers, and the latest discovery is absolutely delicious. Got to love a good German beer. Prost 🍻 🇩🇪 ✨ #Beer #Discovery #Germany #Munich #Spaten #MünchnerHell

A properly amazing day. I woke up super pissed off but as the day progressed, things brightened up brilliantly. A result for the band & an amazing day with the bestest of friends. Genuinely thankful. No matter what life throws at us, it’s always friends & family that makes it all worthwhile ☺️🙏🏻✨ xx

What a crazy day now rounded off by Traitors, strong beer, and a warm cosy little cat. Night all. Sleep well ☺️✨

Some interesting finds today in the deep, dark recesses of Casa Cohen. This must surely be Operation Sort My Shit Out part XLV? It is truly amazing what I’ve kept over the years. Why? 👀🫣😂

PS I’m up for selling these on if anyone is interested. Make me an offer. Cheers ✨

This is simply amazing. I’ve never seen this footage before, and so glad I found it. I really wish I could have seen the band during this era. A special time, and a very special album for me 🥰✨

I’m a cat person through and through, but occasionally my head is turned. This lovely dog had that effect on me today. Such a sweet soul, and so charismatic. Drooled like a mutha fecker though. That side eye is hysterical. A good day out ☺️✨🥰

I never need an excuse to play this album, but today, it feels right to listen to my fave KISS album and raise a glass to Ace. Thank you for the music, and safe journey. RIP 🙏🏻✨

You should see the black one 🫣🥴

A Top of the Pops morning geeking out over bass with a couple of good pals. Four Fender Precision basses from 3 countries of manufacture, from 3 different decades, and all modded with BadAss II bridges. Which one would you choose? 🥰✨

Having a beautiful night rediscovering the brilliance of King Crimson. I love all the iterations, but the 80’s lineup with Adrian Belew is very special. I hope they make it to these shores. These guys are incredible and the way they present the music is simply stunning ☺️🙏✨

A brilliant evening with these reprobates in The Clubhouse, and the pub. Great company always. Cheers and watch out for Amy ⛈️ ☺️✨

“I don’t care if you’re about to get up human, I still want to sit on the cushion…….” 🙄😼

What a relief……. First doctors appointment in 12 years and thankfully, apart from the things I can’t change about myself, I was given the all clear. Phew! Hopefully I’ll sleep a little better now. Have a good one. Catch you soon 🙏✨

Morning all. Have a great week ahead ☺️✨

I admire knowledge, respect insight, celebrate intelligence, and cherish empathy. I feel compassion for those who lack understanding, and deep concern for those unwilling to see beyond their own view.

Be good to one another. Night all. Much love 🙏✨ xx

I had a dream……. 👀😂

Said no one ever……. 👀😂☀️

My weekend planned. Yours? 🥴😂✨🍻

I really think this is one of the most magical tattoos I’ve ever seen. Simply beautiful. Real art. This has inspired me to refresh a particular tattoo I have. Love this so much. Night ☺️✨

✨ Life’s rhythm twists and turns… and it’s led us somewhere special.

We’re beyond stoked to welcome our dear friend Eddie Marsh as the new drummer for dark isles

The spark, the energy, the chemistry is unreal.

Here’s to new beginnings. Big things ahead. ✨

Matt, Lewis, Ryan & Eddie 🥁🤘🏼

How cool? Uber bloody cool! Thank you to my dear chum Eddie for such a much appreciated, and generous gift. Too bloody scared to use them, but use them I will. Which is your favourite? ☺️🙏🏻🤘🏼

😬🤦🏼‍♂️😂

What an amazing night. It will live with me for a long, long time. Thank you all, so much. Thank you Martin Reijman for capturing this moment. This life doesn't always sit right with me for whatever reason but at times like this, I know why I do it. Love to you all xxx

A top day in The Clubhouse working on a track with me old pal Sanj for his band, The 'king Posers. Properly hooky, great tunes, ace vocals & essential 80’s vibes. Looking forward to working with them again. A lovely change of scene from working on something that I’m not involved in. Cheers ☺️☀️ xx

Just had The Reform Party knock on my door asking for my vote. My response was “Never going to happen & please step away from my home & never knock on my door again!” There is more chance of me voting in favour of Brexit.

Fuck off you right wing racist, disrupting, pile of clueless cnuts. Wankers 🤬

Change is constant.

It doesn’t ask permission — it arrives, disrupts, reshapes. Sometimes gently, sometimes like a storm.

To resist it is to stand still while the world keeps turning. Growth comes from embracing what comes next.

Change is not the end. It’s the beginning of what comes next.

A very dear and lovely friend sent this to me after today’s bizarre events, and it sums up everything perfectly. Thankful for my friends. Thankful for opportunities presented. Thankful full stop. Be honest, be true, be caring. It ain’t that hard 🙏🏻🥰 xx
