"At the centre of Niagara’s new, fast-growing alternative scene, Sunshine Express shines with sharp, electric energy. Rock ‘n’ roll fused with an experimental edge.

In early iterations of the group, songwriter MattUU collaborated with friends on music that mixed disparate influences like Oneohtrix Point Never, Ride, and YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA. From 2019-2022, S.EX lacked a permanent lineup, operating consistently as a studio project and inconsistently in other areas. The band self-produced two albums, released a handful of music videos and a short film, and gigged throughout Ontario.

By late 2022, S.EX’s core membership and elemental sonics had been honed. MattUU: auto-tuned vocals and ambient guitarwork. JassChau: in-your-face AKAI sampling. Aidan R: heavy, affected basslines. The trio developed a distinct visual flair. Rave clichés like black lights and face paint were reworked to fit the aura of a glistening, new space-age.

In early 2023, the band’s collaborations with local label and DIY trailblazers Routine Exploits garnered momentum. A new sub-culture began to sprout in St. Catharines. The most energetic S.EX fans rallied as the 'Musical Militia' and involved themselves in performances. During a run of increasingly successful hometown shows, S.EX came across drummer Just-DD and added his explosive fusion playing to the mix.

Recently, MattUU released S_Ex Demos 1, a subdued, singer-songwriter take on the band’s live staples."
