Alan Rickman 795 Report post Posted June 19 Every album was solid and a deep part of my core from my late teens through my 20s. I dont know why I never listened to panic stations but TKO and I can feel you are actually pretty good. I had to replace a broken toilet seal a few weekends ago and put GO on. I was blown away by how much I used to listen to that album and had completely forgotten. it was a genuinely good time being locked away in a bathroom with that nostalgia bomb. Boxelder has been in my head ever since. I used to hate that song or so i thought, but the chorus rules. I'm excited to drive to work and listen to sunny day because i genuinely remember loving it but i cant for the life of me remember what it sounds like. Everyone is asleep and i dont wanna wake anyone up. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone is asleep and i dont wanna wake anyone up. Almost forgot about that one last night. I have no idea why it ended up a b-side. Always thought it was a very aggressive happy song lol. There’s nothing really dark about the lyrics but Justin’s vocals just go HAM on all emotions. I always try to sing along to MCS songs but fail miserably because Justin’s vocals are insanely good and out of my range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OliverKaren 2616 Report post Posted June 19 My buddy is a Kevin Devine superfan and they're pretty close, at least in an artist/performer kind of way. They have each others phone number and KD asked him to drive him about 1000 miles to a gig once, which my buddy declined. Excited for MCS shows, but I wish they would write an album better than the last 2. It's been 5 years since the Matches reunited, and whilethey still play occasional shows and released 2 whole songs, I would kill for an album. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the California font as well. nah, the one from california is neutraface: https://houseind.com/hi/neutraface in the inside out video, it looks to be the same one as on GO, ITC avant garde: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/avant-garde-gothic/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the album but that one falls totally flat for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 9058 Report post Posted October 2 I would love to see them again but not at a festival, I saw them at slam dunk at Cardiff in like 2012 and it just wasn't worth it, and that was with Say Anything and all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they're back with Tony though aren't they? who knows maybe we will get more music. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
