Drawing their influences from Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson, rather than modern pop punk bands, The Matches' songs combine the usual pop punk sound with maturity and attention to songwriting. They're approaching music as a craft, and the result is infinitely more substantial than the output of lesser bands, and just as fun. Think power-infused pop with punk roots and more energy than a runaway nuclear reactor – that's The Matches! The MATCHES release their second album on Golf Records – OUT NOW!
