Matt Holt is the former vocalist of Nothingface and also did some participation on Kingdom of Snakes (playing guitar and vocals on "Lost Vegas") and on Mindset's "Die, Ricky , Die ". His vocals include a wide range of very guttural and distinctive growls to ethereal melodies and even the occasional rap-style vocals on early songs like "Lipsdick" and "Breathe Out".

Matt was raised in the suburbs of Gaithersburs and Germantown north of Washington. During high school he met Tommy Sickles through mutual friends. Matt, Tommy, and two other friends merged to form a band known as "Ingredient 17", where he played guitar and was the vocalist. After playing a show with a band known as Nothingface, the two bands became familiar with one another.

Ingredient 17 was later recording in Nothingface bassist Bill Gaal's studio when Nothingface's vocalist, David Gabbard, left the band citing musical differences. One day Matt came in to record a song for Ingredient 17, and the band members of Nothingface liked his voice, so they "took" him from his band and got their new singer, Matt, says Tom Maxwell.

Matt's main hobbies are self-described as smoking weed, playing video games, paintball, and music.
