Matchbook Monsters - The Video

[Jason Tate]

Check out Matchbook Romance (http://www.absolutepunk.net/matchbookromance)'s new video for "Monsters" from their upcoming album Voices (Feb 14th) on myspace (http://videos.myspace.com).

[Scott Weber]

fucking AMAZING video, it's soooo high budget. it really made the song stand out to me, now I love this song.

[Drew Beringer]

After Scott hyped it up to me, I've been waiting to watch this.

[Anton Djamoos]

I was just gonna submit this as news. Since I'm on 56k, anyone wanna give me the treatment for the video? I'm so excited for this CD...

[Drew Beringer]

Fuuuuuckkkk Macs! I can't watch it :(

[IAPAI]

Fuuuuuckkkk Macs! I can't watch it :(

Fuck Macs? They won't let you watch it if you live in FUCKING CANADA! This is the most retarded bullshit I've ever heard of. Even if I did change my settings to the States, I still have a Mac. Fuck MySpace.

[Rohan Kohli]

I guess I'm an idiot...where's the video?

[Drew Beringer]

Goddamn it, I'll never see this video now, I hope the new cd is enhanced and has the video on the disc.

[Jason Tate]

Bottom of the video.myspace.com page .. I THINK it's on epitaph.com somewhere too, but I haven't found it yet.

[PunkNews.Org]

Yah, myspace's video page is only IE compatible at the moment (from what I know); and Firefox reads code wrong anyways! Hahaha..

[Jason Tate]

Stellar reasoning if I do say so myself....

Myspace hates Canadians :(

[Drew Beringer]

So anyone have this downloaded?

[Anton Djamoos]

Stellar reasoning with your Nintendo comment earlier today.

[Jenn23]

Great video. Great album.

The band/video are also featured on the main (login) page under "MySpace Specials" Exclusive.

[shadowsstatues]

alright, you can say they're cliche, they're emo, they're lame, formulaic, but they do NOT suck. you sir, are a terrible musician, or don't know shit.

I believe that's just the "In the Studio" press kit video or whatever, not the actual music video.

[FallToGlory]

yea. youre right, i just used the link from their myspace saying the "new video for monsters is up"

my bad

[Suyeda]

I have yet to see the video. :(

[PunkNews.Org]

So does your mother...

what are you, 12?

lame.

[FallToGlory]

so i guess some other people have noticed that the video doesnt actually exist on myspace... so where can we actually see it?
search under videos for both "matchbook romance" and "monters"... and its not there.
:\

ROFL, you suck at listening to music

and how the hell does not liking a crappy band make me a bad musician?

I have decided that you are 13, and not worth arguing with, because you do not actually include an argument. Just naughty language. So therefore I will end it... You are wrong. Go listen to throwdown.

If you keep refreshing the main login page of MySpace, it will eventually show up under MySpace Specials at the bottom. I would post a direct link to the video, but it won't give me one. It's a pop up video player, and I've tried checking the link and page properties, and all I get is "javascript:void(0);". Sorry!

thx, it worked. just had to be patient and keep refreshing haha

i think it's funny how all day you talk about what's a good musician and especially vocalist, and then you praise a band like MBR while shitting on JT...if you want to talk about bands with especially weak vocalists...(not anymore, it sounds good now, but earlier...no good to my ears.)

[FourdyOz]

I like Matchbook Romance
but to me, this song sounds like boy band material.

[PunkNews.Org]

you gotta admit that calling me a bad musician because i don't like some band is rather toolish

the piss poor vocals of andrew jordan were acceptable when aaron was doing fucking crazy beats and the catchy pop guitar parts i didnt mind either. i'd venture to say stories and alibis was poppier than from under the cork tree, but in a good way.

so, if justin timberlake is doing fucking crazy shit on a guitar/drums, and is a bad vocalist, but writes good music and lyrics, THEN i'd be wrong.

however there is no comparison here. true musicians -> crappy boy band pop singer/lip syncer.

[Scott Weber]

JT doesn't sing on the album? news to me. everyone uses auto-tune, btw.

[The_New_Cancer]

Incredible video if I do say so myself. I cannot wait for the CD.

[shadowsstatues]

he sings, but he's a horrible singer. he also lip syncs (quite obviously by the way, ive you've watched his performances.)

by the way, anyone with years and years of vocal coaching (and the money for it) is going to sound relatively decent on a record with production tweaks and autotune. fact of the matter is - he's no good. and stop arguing about this because im tired of you bringing it up scott weber. we were discussing how matchbook romance are quite obviously good musicians (unless other people that look exactly like them plays their live shows and record their albums).

there's a reason epitaph are rallying behind this band, they're amazing.

[bowlingforfun]

you said they suck...eluding to the opinion that you thought they weren't good at what they were doing, not that you didnt like them. i don't like the dave mathews band, dave, dave mathews, dave mathews and the band, whatever they(or their fans) call them, but i don't think they suck by any stretch of the imagination. i just don't like them. place your bets, its a matter of context. (i dare you to guess that one)

[thebestkylever]

what are you, 12?

lame.

so your mom only sucks 12 year olds? o my...

I contend that JT's voice > Matchbook Romance vocals. That's all I'm saying...no matter how engineered either of them are.

[rellish91]

You'll love this Jason...it worked in IE, but not Firefox :\
yeah that pissed me off..i still pays off keeping IE around.

[Take Heart]

Really great video, made me really appreciate the song more

[WSUskee]

Yeah I had gotten tired of the song but the video gives it new life for me. How about leaking another song on pv or myspace? Any how this band is going to blow up cant wait for Take Action which will be my 6th time seeing them.

[Kaystarmaker]

what a bunch of utter fucktards...

I got the same message...

[Mercy Medical]

Looks pretty sweet.

Boy do I love hand claps. Haha

Did you honestly expect anything else. I mean look at the username. All anyone and everyone at pn.org does is bash how shitty the news is or how much they dont care about certain bands. No one has anything constructive to say, which is why I stopped going there.

[s.deel.besonym]

Kind of a lame video. The singer looks so unnatural.

[Nigel]

Ya would be awesome if someone outside the US could see the video. I get some error because I'm not from the states.

[LMB]

Please go to the United States or its territories and try again.

Hahahah, funniest thing I've read all week. Fucking Myspace.

HAHA!!!

Yeah i thought that was pretty funny too. I'll make a road trip to the States just to see a Matchbook Romance video, yeah, i'm planning the trip now. :shake:

[starcrossdlovex]

Ugh, I had to use IE just to see this.
I miss MR's old sound =[
But it does make me clap =] haha. i love those hand claps.

to anyone who's heard it, are all the songs on the cd this different from your Stories, my Alabis?

[dashboard1190]

i thought the video was really interesting.
the lead singer looked kind of awkward with the suit, but whatever.

i'm thinking about buying tix for Take Action, and this song would be so cool to see live.

[Jenn23]

to anyone who's heard it, are all the songs on the cd this different from your Stories, my Alabis?
Different, but not that drastically. It's still very much Matchbook. I don't think old fans will be disappointed.

[jsim]

its not that drastic.... you guys need to open up your minds. maybe just a little? fuckin followers
