The Matches

Frustrated with the lack of all-ages venues at the time of the band's conception, The Matches began throwing weekly concerts at an abandoned Oakland warehouse. Ingenuity, home-studio demos, and coveted Warped Tour spots earned The Matches an all-star cast of producers to record their 2006 sophomore release. The bright and carefree Decomposer features collaboration from Bad Religion, Rancid, Blink-182, Goldfinger and 311.
