I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind...

The Matches!!

Genre: Sort of post-punk, I'd guess. Or as Wikipedia puts it "reggae-influenced pop-punk" / Alternative Rock

The Matches (formerly The Locals) are a fun-sounding band from California. As I don't have any of their actual CDs, just downloaded tracks and the songs that are on the 2004 and 2005 Warped Tour Compilations, I can't exactly reccomend a particular album. They have also teamed up with M.C. Lars for the song "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock".

They have an interesting sound to them which is very enjoyable.

My favorite song by them would have to be "December is for Cynics".

...I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time

The Matches December Is for Cynics Lyrics
Black frames to stare out
Mod lang slang to wear out
Scoff at squares in sweaters
Ho, Ho, Ho, we're so much better

Used is the new black
Downloads are the new crack
Mocking carols that we hate
Damn, it's easy being great

So to hell with Holiday romantics
December is for cynics
December is for critics
Let's get high on art supplies and hibernate
December is for cynics
Damn, it's too easy being great

I brought you a bottle of wine full
Of flowers and this vinyl
I know we both made it clear
No stupid presents this year
But snopes.com said if you play
Strawberry fields the wrong way
You can hear Lennon's ghost say

"Slacol eht dellik lhad nov e."

So to hell with Holiday romantics
December is for cynics
December is for critics
Let's go buy some take out and hibernate
December is for cynics
Damn, it's too easy being great

So to hell with Holiday romantics
December is for cynics
December is for critics
Let's just try to sleep late and hibernate
December is for cynics
Damn, it's too easy being great

So to hell with Holiday romantics
December is for cynics
December is for critics
Let's get by on Nyquil and hibernate
December is for cynics
Damn, it's too easy being great
