haha, that picture is awesome. i love the new song and the new layouts.

Wow
The new song and layouts are great
How I wish they would come to Ireland

And TreCoolSexLove I'm so jealous of you that it's sick
You lucky,lucky git

Indeed the whole new look of The Matches MySpace is amazing. And to mention the new song.... AMAZING.
March 17th will be the date us people in the UK and Ireland get that CD.

and aawwww haha, well maybe you should get your ass over here too!

and even their new band website is awesome!!!

I am going to see them again in March They are brilliant and even better live.

i just squeaked really loud

holy hell. i've been deprived all my life.
this band is stellar and i just found them cause someone in the lyrics thread mentioned them.

^^
Indeed they are!
they are certainly one of THE bands that you need in your life.

yargh
I didnt win the last contest
ah well

what date are you going to?

They are so amazing live. i met shawn and jon after the show. It was at warped tour. I've been waiting to see them live since I first heard their first cd two years ago.

Their new song on myspace is sooo good!

Either Manchester or Camden

Awesome, I'll be going to the Camden date. I got my tickets in the post last week

I dont think I am going to be able to go, My frien who was gonna come with me can't and I have no-where to stay if I go to London (I live in Newcastle). So I am depressed at the min XD

holy crap! well maybe if you want, you could bum round London with my friends and I. Would be great. I'm gonna try to hang with the guys after the gig.

Well, when I saw them in Camden in Novemeber they stayed about after the gig and talked to people for ages. I got to talk to all the guys for a while. Shawn was awesome, my friend had an east bay t-shirt on and we talked to him about east bay bands and shit.

I actually was thinking of like getting the train down in the morning, going shopping, go back to Abbey Road (last time was a disaster), going to the gig and then going somewhere that stays open UBER late to get drunk and get the first train home in the morning XD

I've known of these guys for a loooong time. They're a damn good band, and good guys as well. If you ever get a chance to see them live, say Hi to them. You'll like them.

Okay, wow that sounds really nice of them to stay behind. I mean, I don't think there's a lot of bands these days that do that. Not even local bands do that, well not in my town they haven't. And I think whoever checks the Matches myspace, I think it's Shawn that does it, knows I'm a Green Day fan or something, I guess we could strike up a convo about that msuic scene.
Well, I think that night, I'm gonna try to stay talking to the guys as long as I can, I'll offer to buy them more drinks haha, to show them my good hospitality, and hopefully they'll do another tour this year over here. I'd love for them to do Give It A Name too. Oh and Laura, we should meet up at the gig, and bond over the guys haha.

Kudos on mentioning my island
March 17th?Oh jesus,Ill be drunk in a hostel in Italy somewhere..thats St.Patricks Day

I wish:(
Unfortunetly im a bit broke at the min.

I think im just going to e-mail and ask them
Im sick of checking their site every day
Last time they didnt even support Biffy over here

I am going over to Ireland for St. Patricks lol. I have a friend who lives in Belfast, we are both going down to Galway for it. I expect to have my stomach pumped at some point XD

Oh and Kryssi, I would love to, but I have no idea what I am going to do yet, I dont know if I can come down. Mooching around Camden alone is starting to sound like a bad idea XD

^See,but thats the sign you had a good night
Galway is fucking ace,probably my favourite city in Ireland
Great pubs,live music..its an artsy version of Dublin

Im intending on putting on my "Hug An Irish Girl today" teeshirt,just to get some hugs and some free stuff
Cheap stunt but meh,it normally works

awww, well whatever you decide to do.... be happy and uhh.. Jeez, I'm bad at this haha. Well, I'm gonna bum around Camden, almost wrote Cumden then haha, with 3 other people. I'm gonna attempt to get a bit drunk AFTER the gig, much rather before. What was going to be a rather intimate affair with me and my mate with the guys before is turning out to be an orgy of thoughts. I have another mate coming, and her friend is coming too, so it'll no longer be two, but 4. Well, there's 4 of them so, i guess it's cool.

And haha, Ireland! I wanna go there sometime indeed. (:
I've heard it's actually NOW coming out on the 15th, it's on their tour dates list that was in Kerrang!

Gosh!! No one's talking in here!

only a lttle more than a month left! i'm tempted to try to find leaked songs online but i think i'll wait for the album. i just hope it's as good as i'm hyping myself up for it to be...

I'd love to have some of the new songs on my iPod, then I'll know the words. But it's not as if I'd try to get the WHOLE record and not buy it when it comes out.. because i'll most DEFINITELY be buying it.

^ no i would do the same- i always buy the cds from bands i really like
heh i found 2 people who liked the matches the other day- i was so excited i couldn't even speak properly to them it's so rare to find people in my school who even know who they are, let alone like them.

Awww! That's cool! Well I don't know anyone who likes them, one of my friends actually saw them support MCS the other year, which i'm mega jealous of. I wish I had the internet longer than what I have done, because i would've discovered them before 2006.
but I've introduced a lot of people into them and now they like 'em!!
i'm seeing them next month, as i've said before... and i'm meeting up with 6 or 7 people in london who i've introduced them to if you get me. and i'm going with 3 of my friends.

^ lucky... the only AP tour date that is close to me is sold out- im gonna have to go to connecticut or something now

Dammit! I feel well bad though for one of my best friends, she introduced me to their music and they're doing a show near her in FLA and well.. she can't get there. I feel well bad.

That sucks
Its important you feel sorry for me too
By the time the come here it will be big ass shows with security and screaming teenies

I just know it.

Oh yes! And I feel sorry for you too. You should so get a ferry or something and come to the camden show.. that'd be well awesome.

^*sigh*
Don't tempt me
That would be so fucking awesome

Oh,stalkerish request!
I was waiting for some one to rip those Matches vids for you,but it looks like you did them yourself
Any chance you could send me them (expect papercut skin) in mp4 format?
If its no trouble?
Id owe you forever

I'll tempt you a LOT hahaha. You could sit and have a drink with me and the guys if you come. how about THAT for temptation?

ohhhh and sure thing dear!! Lemme just upload them for you and give you the link!

Here's

The Matches dancing to Insurance?

Lucky. Everything I love comes out on my birthday in other countries, but never here. I'm jealous.

Damn, well I could let you listen to it, because you'd probably still buy it... Some people are kinda not liking the new album, even before they've heard the damn thing in it's entirety.

oh and i won't be able to upload all vids tonight as i'm going to go sleep soon, work in the morning ughh.

^Dont worry theres no rush or anything!
Thanks for the first one

You're very welcome!! It's because... i did find a site that could do if for me, then all i had to do was convert them. now the damn sites don't work for me.. i can't get onto them.

The Matches - How To Build A Mountain.

Yeah, I would still buy it, but you don't need to share. I'll just wait. I've become good at waiting.

I've just temporarily downloaded LimeWire and I've found 2 tracks off the new album... Wake the Sun and Their City, the latter is amazing... well both are. I'm still buying it, i have to order it offline though, because sods in my town won't sell it.

^ I have the same problem buying their CDs. I have to order them. No one sells them here. Tower Records used to, but that is gone. I think I got the first 2 off Amazon. I should start looking.

Have you been on their official board?
I've only known about that place for like... a month or so.. and they're well mean on there.
like one of them is.
i asked nicely if i could have the font that was used on the decomposer album.. but they won't let me have it.

"Unfortunately, the Matches will not be touring Ireland any time soon. It'd be best to see them in the UK."
O-o-okay

thanks for the videos

^^ :O:O

get your butt over here pronto!

who here knows how i can download the font that was used on the decomposer album?

Oh, and who else is a member of their board?

Guess who's gettin an AP COVER next month!!!!!

sweet. I'll actually buy it for once!

I saw that, and my mouth litterally dropped! I heard that they're one of many artists that are on the cover of the next issue, I'm asking my bestie in Florida to get me a copy.

I cant wait to snag that AP mag

YESSSS they're finally on the cover!! It's actually good I saw this cover now, if I first saw it when I got it in the mail, I'd probably be jumping around like a lunatic

...wait- its one of those months when they have two covers.... GAH I hope I get the Matches one...

maybe you should ask if you get choice? Like you should ask if you can have the cover with them on the front.
