Matchbook Romance began as a local band based out of upstate New York in the summer of 2001. Consisting of Andrew Jordan on guitar and lead vocals, Ryan Depaolo on lead guitar and backing vocals, Aaron Stern on drums, and Ryan Kienle on bass, the band quickly developed a loyal fan base and caught the attention of punk rock mogul Brett Gurewitz, owner of Epitaph Records. Although he had never seen the band live, and the band had never toured or released an album, Gurewitz believed in Matchbook Romance and offered the band their first record deal. In the summer of 2002, just days after Stern graduated high school, the deal was signed and the bands' dreams realized.
Over the next few years, the band released 2 full length albums, 2 EPs, and toured around the world gaining critical acclaim and building its base of loyal fans both in the US and abroad. It was after their sophomore release, Voices, however, that the band decided to take an indefinite hiatus in the spring of 2007.
Now, after a 2 year hiatus, Matchbook Romance is ready to take the stage again. They will be performing a handful of shows in May 2009 and perhaps follow that with a record and/or tour. The future remains to be seen...
