MATCHBOX TWENTY


Matchbox Twenty,  released their 4th studio album “NORTH” August 2012. The American Pop/Rock group who came together in 1995, have previously released three studio albums and sparingly over the years.  This is the first album in 10 years with all original music. Their Greatest Hits album “EXCILE ON MAINSTREAM” September 2007 was a 2 disc CD, with only six new songs. Their music is heavily played on POP music radio, but nothing new since 2007, so this is the long awaited album fans have been waiting for.

Rob Thomas the front man of Matchbox Twenty, and a solo artist in his own right has released 2 studio albums, 11 singles, and several videos. He sounds as good as ever,  and with his melodic voice entwined in harmonies of the Matchbox Twenty group  make the songs memorable. Don’t listen to the album just once, it actually grows on you. The realization is we have missed Matchbox Twenty, and their engaging harmonies, to sing and dance to.

With all the memorable music out there from Matchbox Twenty they have not been won a major award, which is unbelievable for all the air time they receive, and millions of copies sold. They have been nominated 4 times for Grammy, 5 times for the American Music Awards, and 2 times for the MTV Video Music Awards. Maybe “NORTH” is the winner!
