  Matchbook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A matchbook is a small cardboard container that holds a quantity of matches inside and has a coarse striking surface on the exterior.
Matchbooks are often covered with advertising logos or various artistic decorations, and they have served as collector's items and free souvenirs.
Manufacturing of matchbooks peaked during the 1940s and 50s, then steadily declined because of the availability of disposable lighters and various anti-smoking, health campaigns.

When Matchbook Romance began in 2001, the idea of playing music for a living felt like a dream, a romantic fantasy that dwelled in each member of the band's imagination.
We always thought, 'What are our chances?'" Still, people believed in the band-their friends, families and peers-and they encouraged Matchbook Romance's just-stepping-into-the-world rank and file to drop their impending classes at various community colleges in and around Poughkeepsie, NY that fall, in order to concentrate on the band.
Matchbook Romance knew their next record would have to stand apart and the material they had begun self-recording while out on the road behind Stories And Alibis-all of it decidedly more sparse, moody and meditative-was significantly removed from the sound they honed on their debut.

This incredible second effort from Matchbook Romance is a highly refined, technically brilliant album that strikes a great balance of beauty and darkness on an entirely new level of creativity for this band.
A true study in contrast, Voices finds Andrew Jordans vocals soaring on high, as well as floating amongst the myriad rhythms provided by Ryan DePaulo's finely woven webs of melodic strings, Aaron Stern's pounding drums and Ryan Kienle's guiding bass lines.
