The Matches.

And I say to myself, what a wonderful baaaaaand.

I find myself quite picky with indie styled music. I like to consider myself quite open to new musical endeavours, and I never hesitate to try out a new band. In the case of The Matches, I am highly glad I chose to look into them more.

It all started sometime last year when I heard Papercut Skin on the radio whilst I was trying poorly to fall asleep. I thought it sounded quirky, yet I enjoyed it and experienced a surging feeling throughout my body urging me to go and listen to them some more!
Not long after I found myself in possession of the cd Decomposer. I was very pleased.

At first, I really didn't like them. I was a little pissed off that this band I had actually gotten a cd of hadn't had an impact at all on me, and that there was one song on the entire thing that I actually enjoyed listening to. But after that first listen, I had a desire to listen to it again. It was like a car crash; I hate it but couldn't tear myself away.

So today, I am proud to announce that I am happily in a loving relationship with The Matches. They write great little tunes. Shoot Me In The Smile is a an awesone song of amazingly epic proportions. Again, I missed seeing this band on the Soundwave tour, and I'm kicking myself also. They also appear to be fun, and I saw a video of a live clip and they didn't sound bad either.

I recommend this band to everyone. Although, start with songs from Decomposer or their earlier works, they're the best in my humble opinion.
I suck at naming similar style bands also, otherwise I would.
I'll just say if you're a fan of indie, then you should try The Matches, that is if you haven't already.

Also, on a seperate note, I have a twitter thing on my blog. Just below my about me, it tells you things. Like how there is a two part Matches blog today. Awesome!
