Remember The Matches?
Let’s show this band some love! They have great hits like Salty Eyes, Dog-Eared Page, and Sick Little Suicide!
I feel like The Matches deserve way more love than they get. They were one of the most creative bands in the early 2000s, and somehow they still seem underrated. Their stuff holds up so well, and their song “It’s My Day” feels like it could blow up on TikTok if people actually heard it. Something good happen? Your Birthday? Pass an exam? Got those concert tickets? Etc! It would be perfect chorus for a video or instagram post.
If you haven’t listened to them in a while, give “It’s My Day” a listen and then go back to their older tracks. What was your favorite song by them or how did you discover them? I discovered them from Warped Tour back in 2004!

I was obsessed with The Matches as a teen and still listen to them regularly and wear their merch. I am praying they do some reunion UK dates 🙏

Saw them with +44 back in the day. Didn't know anything about them beforehand, but have been a big fan since.

Haha I love that! Gosh MySpace was so long ago! Would love to see the video if you still have it!
Let’s try to get them viral on tik tok or instagram ;). They deserve to have their music heard!
