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.

I had been a fan of Matchbook Romance before "Voices" came out and had gone to several of their shows where they played songs from "West For Wishing" and "Stories and Alibis".
Matchbook Romance has turned that angst that boiled throughout their older work and completely transformed it, giving it a completely dark feel - almost as if they took a fl paintbrush over their sound.
Matchbook Romance's lyricism is quite nice, but they use certain words and themes over and over again which makes me wonder if the lyricist was feeling creative at all.

 Matchbook Romance, ready to take action
Tour, Matchbook Romance is doing its part to bring attention to the National Hopeline Network (800-SUICIDE) and its parent organization, the Kristin Brooks Hope Center, which provide support and resources for young people in crisis.
Matchbook Romance - Jordan, guitarist Ryan DePaolo, bassist Ryan Kienle and drummer Aaron Stern - heads a bill that includes newcomers Silverstein, the Early November, Amber Pacific and Paramore.
Matchbook Romance is certainly more intriguing than the band's original name when it formed in 1997 (Fizzle Wink) or its later moniker the Getaway, which on the Internet would yield loads of alternative choices for films, video games and, particularly, vacation packages.

It was a whirlwind romance that produced a contract, a name change, a masterful EP (West for Wishing), a summer-long Warped Tour engagement, and European tour with new friends and fans, The Ataris.
Matchbook Romance has chops, songwriting skills, sincerity and harmonies (even the shrieking backing vox are almost in tune) to beat most bands.
The latter, Matchbook Romance may balk at boasting about, but they know the former is key to their survival-and the instinct is potent.

 SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: Matchbook Romance - West For Wishing EP
And for all the unique artists, stirring records and affecting changes to society that Epitaph Records have been involved with over the course of so many years, it is dumbfounding that they release this mechanical, overbearing, pseudo-emotion filled mess of audio diarrhea.
On a staple diet of punk-like guitar chugging, heartbroken adages and rhythmic anonymity; Matchbook Romance’s West For Wishing is an unfortunate trek into the myriad world of emotive nondescript music.
If someone happens to say, “Hey, Matchbook Romance are going places!” – You’d better believe them; they’re heading out of Epitaph’s posterior and straight into the toilet bowl.

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.
While VOICES, an interlocking mix of complex balladry and forward-thinking rock, is a huge change for the members of Matchbook Romance, it’s also a necessary one—and after weeks of recording the album’s dozen songs with Goodmanson it was clear that huge leaps had been made.

Matchbook Romance is a melodic hardcore unit from Poughkeepsie, NY.
Epitaph honcho Brett Gurewitz heard the Getaway\'s demo via punknews.org, got in touch with Jordan, and soon the bandmembers found themselves in California, signing a deal with the famous punk rock label.
Legal issues encouraged the Getaway to become Matchbook Romance, Gurewitz volunteered to produce their debut EP, tours were arranged, and Joe Barresi (Weezer, Pennywise) was lined up to produce the band\'s eventual full-length.

The real test for any such outfit is how its tracks would sound slowed down and undressed, and Matchbook's snappy songs could be hits on a solo acoustic guitar.
Where West for Wishing was a calling card, meant to introduce fans to MATCBHOOK ROMANCE before and after the Warped Tour, it was also a bit of a red herring.
What's coming is the live dose, a four-dimensional, first-person attack that MATCHBOOK ROMANCE honed this summer and will administer on the European jaunt with The Ataris.

Since first releasing Bad Religion's young, loud and snotty 'How Could Hell Be Any Worse?' in 1981, legendary imprint Epitaph has mapped punk sounds from all over the globe.
Their debut album is chiefly concerned with proving the theory that a heart that hurts is a heart that works and the emotional disasters fly in quick succession.
The playing and harmonies are faultless, but Matchbook Romance need to put the their hooks in listeners the way they've been put into them.

 Matchbook Romance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Personally, I think the band will probably use heavy distortion, fast paced punk sounding drum beats and most importantly melodic singing accompanied with screaming.
If you expect the same thing as me and are a fan of Epitaph, Matchbook Romance is a great choice because they do all of these things and do them well.
The stand-out track on this five track ep is "the greatest fall (of all time)" which quite honestly reminds me of Finch because of the thunderous double bass.

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.
Songs like Monsters and You Can Run, But Well Find You display the band trekking into a new and excitng direction that is sure to please pre-existing fans and catch the ears of new fans, as well!
