A Brief History: Sweet Cobra was lucky enough to have Mat Arluck join our band as second guitar player after the departure of Neeraj Kane during the recording of "Praise" in late 2003. The plan at that time had originally been to continue on as a trio, but once we jammed with Mat we knew that we had to play music together. There was an instant musical chemistry, and a common love for records, skateboarding, and good times. He joined Sweet Cobra in early 2004 and we began playing shows right away and started working on our second album "Forever". Mat's creativity and songwriting was an amazing thing to be a part of and we feel honored to have been able to play with him. He was a great musician and an even better friend.
Unfortunately in late 2004 Mat was first diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer. Over the next few years he continued to battle his illness with a positive outlook and we continued to write music, record and play shows. Even during some of his sickest moments he would be the last one sitting at the soundboard, or loading out gear after a show, or wanting to rehearse� while always having an amazing sense of humor. His tireless work ethic is an inspiration to us and he had a musical vision that was so focused. - more on this story
