Matt Burke has always had a knack for blending gritty storytelling with raw sound, and his latest single, ‘THIRSTY,’ is no exception. Released on March 7th, this track brings a potent mix of country and rock, showcasing a much harder edge than his previous work. With its swampy Drop D guitar riff, pounding drums, and distorted guitars, ‘THIRSTY’ firmly pushes Burke’s brand of “struggle country” into new, electrifying territory.

‘Raw, electrifying, unrelenting.’

The track’s narrative follows the classic Friday night transformation: the grind of a long week melts away when the paycheck hits, and the decision to let loose becomes inevitable. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone familiar with the blue-collar grind. Burke’s hard-rocking country anthem is undeniably fun, unrelenting, and perfectly timed for the weekend. If ‘THIRSTY’ is any indication, Matt Burke’s future in country and rock is looking brighter than ever.
