For an unsigned musician that is exciting enough, but now Matt's stock could be about to rise further with the song Farmyard/Graveyard being shortlisted to soundtrack the world's first user-generated film – Faintheart is a flick that has been cast online using only uploaded amateur videos.
"It usually takes artists years of hits and recognition to end up on a music soundtrack, so considering we've not yet released our first album this is pretty amazing," says Matt. "But whatever happens, we're all just really excited to be launching our first album in our home city."
Farmyard/Graveyard is one of 10 album tracks Modern Eulogy will play on Snig Hill.
Tickets for Tuesday's show cost £4 on the night when the bill will also feature Fugitives, Fang Club, Pocket Satellite, The Marygreenes and Last To Be Picked.
The album Glory will be available on the night for just a fiver.
