Epitaph press release
Indie-pop-rock group the Matches will release their third studio album, A Band In Hope, on March 18th via Epitaph Records. Known for their innovative take on music and far out charm, the Matches have created a record that is a striking mix of affective rock, poetic lyrics and rollicking indie riffs, fueled by singer/guitarist Shawn Harris' ardent vocals.

Originally conceptualized as the sister album of 2006's Decomposer, A Band In Hope finds the Matches in a matured state of self-reflection. "The portrait is more honest, exposed and layered than we've ever been able to achieve," says Harris. "A pendulum's sway between hope and despair."
