Matchbook Romance Are Monsters

[Frank Giaramita]

Matchbook Romance (www.matchbookromance.com) have posted their new song "Monsters" on their pureVOLUME.com (www.purevolume.com/matchbookromance) and Myspace.com (www.myspace.com/matchbookromance) pages. The band's new album, Voices hits shelves on February 14, 2006.

"Monsters"? Is it just me or does the beginning of that song totally rip off Gatsbys? everyone wants a piece of their style these days.... :shake:

[leafsacc]

this song is awsome, i can't wait for the new record.

[Bucc4019]

this band is way too generic.

and it sucks that i have to pay 18 bucks just to see gatsbys american dream.

[kevin111]

Seriously, whoever has bad-mouthed this song, you are entitled to your opinion, but fuck you. This is such an improvement for this band. I may just be sick of hearing singles from an album I bought about 2 years ago, but this song is so much better than almost any of their old stuff. I will seeing them in two days, albeit I am going for Lovedrug and Gatsby's American Dream, but I will now stick around in hopes to see "Monsters" live. By the way, the guitar solo is sick.

[leafsacc]

don't you like Armor for Sleep? that's the band i want to see on that tour.

Yeah... it is just you.

Yeah dude. This song is so good.

[Johnny_G]

Pretty damn good for a Three Cheer's b-side.

[IAPAI]

Valentine's Day is too far away for this album

[marbury1414]

Pretty damn good for a Three Cheer's b-side.

Yep. Sounds exactly like new MCR.

[starcrossdlovex]

I don't know what to think about this album yet.
"Your Stories, My Alabis" is one of my favorite albums & they're definitely making sure they change.
It'll probably grow on me, but I do really miss the old sound.

[Johnny_G]

Yep. Sounds exactly like new MCR.
Can't lie, I'd prolly change my sound too if it gave me a shot at selling a million records.

[biffyboy]

good tune

Hmm...you know, I would say you're a GAD fan,not sure :thumbsup:

[underoathfob55]

this is a really good song and this is coming from someone who isnt a fan. they also played an awesome 10 minutes slow song at warped that sounded really good.

[Steve Henderson]

Dude, this song is SICKKKKKKK.

Amd I think this is less commercially-driven than MCR or even their old stuff.

Plus, I am a sucker for handclaps :)

[FstFtsVsFences]

So is Gerard going to do guest vocals for the whole cd or what?

[InaGreendase]

Yeah... it is just you.

No, the verses in this are definitely Gatsbys-influenced.

[reductiondesign]

Wait Gerard is on this track?

And am I the only who thinks his voice is different than on SAA?

No, that is retards saying it sounds like MCR.

Song is teh r0x0rz...deal with it

[FstFtsVsFences]

No, that is retards saying it sounds like MCR.

This song sounds just like new MCR. Deal with it.

[Jenn23]

None of the new songs sound anything alike.

And Andrew Jordan sounds NOTHING like Gerard Way.

If MBR were only concerned about selling a million albums, they would have signed to a major by now.

They play four new songs on this tour, including "Monsters" (complete with clapping crowd participation) and "Goody, Two Shoes" (the long one they played on Warped).

we're entitled to our opinion but fuck you?

your basically an idiot.

[FstFtsVsFences]

:amen:

[oceanblue]

I like it, MBR have grown a lot. It was a bit of a shock to hear the first couple times. I can sort of see the MCR comparisons, but I personally think its completly different.

[kevin111]

you are right, the fuck you was harsh, just a little pent up agression. I do apologize for offending anyone, I should have tried to be more tactful, but next time you call me an idiot, there will be a fuck you. So I appreciate you calling me out and I actually am sorry for being rude.

[VexRed0903]

To the dude who says it sounds like GAD, doesn't it feature the lead singer from them? Maybe he had some input into it.

[FstFtsVsFences]

You're an idiot.

[bradyreier]

definitely a new sound. but i'm totally digging it. i am surprised at how different the vocals sound. not in a bad way though. they played a long/slow/pretty sounding song at warped tour. it sounded quite amazing. valentines day will rule my life

[moore182]

You're an idiot.
*Patiently waits to see the "fuck you" from kevin* ;)

[kevin111]

well I may be a little over zealous with my comments, but I am no hypocrite, so.... FUCK YOU! Sorry, had to do it.

[Steve Henderson]

That's a pretty dumbass thing to say. They are on Epitaph.

[finch425]

i dont have speakers, so i cant hear this, but i dont know if i will like it because i really liked the old mbr sound

[Steve Henderson]

your basically an idiot.
Actually you're the idiot.

[FstFtsVsFences]

Actually you're the idiot.
*Looks at your user name*

Oops! Where'd your credibility go?

[Jenn23]

That's a pretty dumbass thing to say. They are on Epitaph.
I know that. Epitaph is an independent label. I'm sure they've had offers to sign with bigger labels, but haven't.

[JohnnyG]

Pretty damn good for a Three Cheer's b-side.


how about you ripped off my username lol

[KetchupMan36]

for those of you who dont like the new MBR, you should check out A Day at the Fair. they sound pretty similar.

[Everiggs]

Catchy as ef.

[theguilt engine]

The more I listen to it, I love it. I didn't like it first.

[Steve Henderson]

*Looks at your user name*

Oops! Where'd your credibility go?
Oh, good one! I like a certain movie, so I have no cred! You are so cool d00d!

I know that. Epitaph is an independent label. I'm sure they've had offers to sign with bigger labels, but haven't.
I would not consider Epitaph anymore, as they have quite a few big successes and a lot higher budgets than an "indie" label would have. Sure, they might have started off as one, but I don't feel it fits any longer...

[hennessy]

looking forward ti the album, the last one kicked ass

[Toast&Bananas]

I'm not much of a fan of these guys. It's not bad. The guitar solo is the best part in my mind.

[LeftWideOpen]

we are the monsters under your bed?

wtf?

[XxLoserDanxX]

*Looks at your user name*

because having internet credibility will get you far in life. seeing as being internet famous will make or break you.

any ways, i like the song. the whole album is a lot different than the previously released stuff. all will love it when it's released.

[FightingFate]

Holy Lost Prophets...

[PaintMeBlue]

fucking awesome song...i am looking forward to valentine's day this year...hahahah

Amen. I like you.

[Steve Henderson]

Holy Lost Prophets...
I didn't think that at first, but I can see it now. Plus, I love Lostprophets, so it is all good. Those guys are so underrated.

[Drew Beringer]

I don't think it sounds anything like MCR. It has some GAD influence, but MBR said that this song is like the only poppy song on this album, so I'm excited to hear the rest.

[WSUskee]

I am surprised I really like this song. I didnt think adding the GAD element would work but they pulled it off nicely. Sad thing is they will most likely sell way more copies of this album than Gatsbys ever will. Im excited to hear more off the album but it will be hard to top the last album for me.

[mediocrgreenday]

doesnt sound anything like matchbook romance at all, i want the pussy whiney bitchy shit back cause its cool.
