All nonexistent enemies
aside, The Matches was one of the hardest working bands
on Warped Tour this year, and their hard work paid off.
They are tearing shit up and throwing it in the faces of
eager audiences all over the US. They were so popular at
Warped that they played the Uproar Stage at almost every
date, even at shows they weren’t originally scheduled
to play. They are one of the few bands I’ve witnessed
to rock an acoustic set as if it’s an electric one.
At the August 8th Englishtown Raceway Warped date, The Matches
played a four-song acoustic set at the Alternative Press
tent that got the crowd moving.
Not only have they caught the attention of hundreds of
new fans at every date on Warped Tour, but The Matches have
also made fans out of dozens of bands on the tour as well.
The Early November repeatedly plugged the band’s set
during their performance at the August 6th, Camden, NJ,
Warped date, and fellow Warped Tour buddies Yellowcard are
bringing the band on tour with them in the fall.
