^ nah, they send subscribers a different one than they send to stores.


i'm downloading A Band in Hope later. i used up my rapidshit and have to wait an hour or so.
i hope its worth it. :x

of course it's worth it!!!

I've got it, and it's brilliant.
You may be shocked with the vocals.... on one song. ;)

ohh, and i could send the folder to you if you want.... on send space..

*cough*CanIhaveitpleaseKryssi*cough*

Wow that AP cover looks great..
Now to obtain it

nah, i'll wait. thanks anyway, though!

sure thing! hold on and i'll go compress the files and put them up.

oo i found the album on my favorite illeg- i mean legal music site, but i'm gonna wait until the album actually comes out, even though the temptation is overwhelming

meh, if your going to buy it anyways i don't see whats the point in waiting to listen to it.

Trust me, if you wait... it'll be really well worth it.

you should send me a link, they shut down my fav illegal site

but i found a few of the songs. they're so good. i cant wait to hear the rest of the cd.

^^^ I like the name of your DeviantArt!

Anyway, did you guys hear about the bundle that LoserKids are doing? I can't get it though... i don't have the right type of payment card. >:O

I'll PM the general link and specific link to you

who pre-ordered their album on loserkids and gets a free shirt?
I did

^ oooh I want that shirt!

i can't get the fucking shirt.

I'm downloading A Band In Hope right now. I will still buy it when it comes out of course.

That sucks, I guess this is a US only promo then? I still haven't ordered mine, by the time I get to it they're gonna be sold out It's annoying because I have free time at night, but my parents are always sleeping, and I do need a credit card

the new album is so quirky.
but it was still good. i liked it.

I got my AP in the mail!! The interview w/ The Matches was really interesting, wish I could post a scan but I don't actually have a scanner *sigh*

I just finished my download.

send in videos - EVERYONE do your good deed as Shawn Harris himself requested after downloading the new album. read what he says here: http://www.thematches.com/blog/2008/02/off...ease-party.html

I'm not downloading it
I wait

^ same. For some reason whenever I get a album on CD I end up liking it a lot more than just downloading it, and I really want to like this album a lot

I HAVE A SPARE TICKET FOR THE MATCHES AT CAMDEN!!!

WHO WANTS TO COME?

Hi Kryssi it's Norka lmao

I FUCKING LOVE THE MATCHES!
listen to decomposer every morning driving to skool
it bascially explains my life.

I hate my life.

"I wish Shawn was a woman because i think im going to soon turn gay for him. I don't want to turn gay." - my brother.
lol it was funny.

The Matches are fucking excellent.

@ your brother.

and aha, i agreeee.

DARKNESS RISING! INSANE!

Seriously, that song is kind of ridiculous but I love it.

Clouds Crash is also amazing, I saw them play it live in December.

I no longer have a spare ticket. (x

But yeah, dammit. I'm sorry that I haven't uploaded their new album... i kinda don't want to, because I want you to hear it when it actually comes out. It's well worth the wait.

Oh man, 8 MORE DAYS til I see them.

^grr *intense jealousy*
have fun though

I'm proud of myself, the other day my friend was driving me to a concert, and he has his mp3 player hooked up to the stereo. For a good 5 minutes he kept saying, "You know, there's a new CD on there, by a band that happen to be called the Matches, and this CD's really good, and hey, it's only a button press away!" It took a lot of my willpower to say I was waiting until the 18th

hahahaha. What a devious trick of your friend....

Here's what I've made for them...



hahaha. Well, they have a thing to be on their top list so...

I've pre-ordered their album..

holy shit, 5 more days!!!! Hahaha, I know someone who went last night, and got hit in the face by Shawn. (x

I want to get hit in the face by shawn

omg kryssi, can you get the AP mag over there?
I bought it yesterday. tis awesome

I still miss the E Von Dahl days.

they put the new album songs on their myspace

...I have a feeling it'll take me a while to like this album
i'm not exactly falling head over heels for it

^ I'm being tortured! I really want to wait until the 18th but everyone around me seems determined to play me the songs before then, including the band now!
And you don't like it that much? That sucks, all hype for not much

Ahhh Kels, I can't get the AP mag over here... I did try subscribing to them.. seems they've never heard of PayPal, so I can't get it. MEGA SAD FACE!

And man... I'm seeing them in.... well today!! ahahah, i should be asleep right now, but the rain is so loud against the window next to my bed.

Aaah Kryssi 'ave fun love!

Yeah i cant ge AP here either:(
(I didnt sleep cause of the rain either)

wow, okay, so I'm listening to the songs for the second time and my reaction is a little bit different
Shawn's voice on Darkness Rising is...something I've never heard before. it's...dreamy it's so soothing and wow

fear not my UK Matches lovies
I will try to get some decent scans of the article later for ya

I don't know why I never bothered to check these guys out. I just went to their myspace and listened to their new stuff, I like Darkness Rising. Kind of eerie but in a calming way.

oh Kaitlin you must check these guys out!
they truly are amazing.

here's the AP mag scans

I do rather heart you

I most definitely did. They're great! What I love is that you can't pin a specific genre on them.


&& His license plate pants are bangin'! I want those!!

Thanks Kels!!!

for that... I'm gonna post some new pictures in The Matches pic thread. ;)

ive decided that they make me think of someone who finally did a decent job of modernizing the beatles
the feeling tried and failed but these lot are arty and wierd like the beatles
i like

Great one Leigh!!
For ages people have asked me what genre they play in music... and I actually have never been able to answer it... but I now have the answer!!!

ART-PUNK!

hahaha. But yeah, they're great. Just wished I could've seen them more than once on this tour.




Ahh goshness!! I wish we spoke more too! Uhh, UHHHH. You have something other than this to contact you on?

art punk is a wonderful term
especially for Decomposer
gawd I love that album artwork. it mirrors the songs so well. it's perfect.

i think they are the truest punk i've heard in years
besides skoolyard heroes
but once again as soon as i like a band they start to become big
GRRRRRR!

^theyre gonna get big because theyre good

^yeah i mean im glad because they are good
but that means the poser teenies are gonna come in
just like MCR
