Matt Crawford (born September 5, 1985 in Scunthorpe, England. At an early age, Matt got into music through Queen and cites Brian May as "the man who got me into the guitar. The tones he captured were exciting to me as a young child." As the years past heavy metal became Matt's passion as he discovered bands such as Pantera, Metallica and later on System of a Down. Matts first band, called Label (not to be confused with the band of the same name featuring Scunthorpe musician Stephen Fretwell) was formed with friends who were into the same kind of music, but couldn't play it. After meeting another local musician Chris Johnson (who at the time was playing in 'rival' band Blindsound) a friendship struck up and when Matt left Label he joined the musicians in Blindsound and renamed the band Backline Ideal.
