VOTE FOR THE MATCHES IN THE 9th INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS
The Matches Sweep The 9th Independent Music Awards Pop/ Rock Nominations
Music Resource Group (MRG) has announced acclaimed Oakland, California’s the Matches among an eclectic mix of self-released and independent label talent culled from six continents as Nominees for The 9th Independent Music Awards.
Sweeping the Pop/Rock categories, the Matches received nods for ALBUM 4, UNRELEASED; GRAPHICS? TITLE? OR NOT NEEDED? in the Pop/ Rock Album category and its track, “It’s My Day,” in the Pop/Rock Song category.
ALBUM 4…. was released in August 2009 through Talking House Records as a collection of previously unreleased songs, recent song demos and two special released acoustic tracks shortly after the band announced its hiatus and performed two sold-out final shows in their home state at The Fillmore and The Troubadour.
While working on the ALBUM 4, Matches' multi-tasking frontman (lead singer/primary writer/rhythm guitarist and graphic designer) Shawn Harris, received an e-mail from manager/producer/co-writer Miles Hurwitz asking what Harris intended for the album title and cover graphics. As the Matches' members shared a long-standing running joke mocking Hurwitz' habit of too much detail and excessive length in e-mail subjects, Harris found the subject of this email from Hurwitz solved the question of the album title. He used the subject verbatim, accompanied with a simple, text heavy design for the graphic.
