It's a little strange, but I don't know what's happening with all of the show announcements that have been pouring in this week: Limp Bizkit, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls and Kid Rock? It feels lik...

Wikipedia says the Matchbox Twenty (formerly Matchbox 20; keep it straight, y'all) song " Real World " hit the airwaves back in 1998. That means I've been doing an impression of Rob Thomas singing I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho in his stupid voice for roughly 15 years.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The lyrics actually don't sound like what measly Matchbox Twenty normally sounds like which is ideal. They are horrendous. In other news Swanky Tunes have outdone themselves yet again. This gem is about a month old but who cares. Thanks to my scrub friend Jacko for doing something with his worthless life and finding this ruby. Matchbox Twenty - Put Your Hands Up (Swanky Tunes Remix) Tweet Facebook [...]

Remix duties are nothing new to Russian production/DJ squad, Swanky Tunes , but the next task on their agenda comes from a foreign genre. That is Matchbox Twenty's pop rock single "Put Your Hands up" - and the trio takes their turn with full force. Matching the vibe, Swanky Tunes use their uplifting production tools to swap rock elements for electronic ones, surrounding Matchbox's vocal with anthemic synths and crashes. Ready for the dance floor, check out Swanky Tunes' rendition of "Put Your Hands Up" and find the release on Beatport. Purchase: Beatport [...]

There's a considerable breakdown in some of the coaches’ confidences as they enter Tuesday’s (December 4) results show of The Voice . Betraying some early nerves, Adam Levine says of the previous night’s performances, “It wasn’t perfect. There were things I wish could have been better.” Generally cocky Blake Shelton reveals, “My heart is pounding right now because I desperately not only want to see [ Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott ] go through and be one [...]
In support of their fourth studio album North , Rob Thomas fronted band Matchbox Twenty is back again for another American tour. The latest single from the LP, “Put Your Hands Up,” falls into typical their pop rock style, but Swanky Tunes have restored the track with a remix to dub it dance-worthy. The Russian trio follow up their most recent original production "Chemistry" via their own imprint Showland, with another noteworthy remix. Known for their sprawling house productions, Swanky Tunes provides listeners a quick turn around with the remix of [...]

Matchbox Twenty are still riding the "She's So Mean" gravy train, and why not? It helped propel their comeback album North to the #1 spot on the charts (their first time ever at the top). So Rob Thomas and the gang stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show to play the hit. Apparently their new-found chart success hasn't afforded them any extra cash to hire more musicians, though, because just about every guy with a guitar in the band is pulling double [...]
10 Good Things about the new Matchbox 20 album North : 1) The four band members are visible on the cover. When you get bored listening to this record (probably in the first few measures of the first track, the single “She’s So Mean”), you can revel in their nice ties. And are those French doors? Splendid! 2) Nicki Minaj does not sing or rap on this record. (In fairness, her verse on Kanye West’s “Monster” is unequivocally great.) 3) Robert Thomas, the lead singer for MB20, has successfully abandoned the mannered style [...]

Praise flannel! One group of rockers who found initial success in the '90s succeeds another on the Billboard Top 200, as Dave Matthews Band 's Away From The World bumps Matchbox Twenty 's North off the top of the chart this week. DMB's latest sold 266,000 copies out of the gate — nearly four times the amount (95,000) M20 debuted with last week . North has now been bumped down to #8 after adding another [...]
Rob Thomas and company earn a moral victory by merely showing up, but not much else. What on earth are we to do with a Matchbox Twenty album in 2012? What is there, really, to be said about this band that hasn't been said before? Has anyone ever actually said anything about Matchbox Twenty (you know, these guys have done a solid job of being Third Eye Blind with a better shelf life!)? Are there Matchbox Twenty thinkpieces floating across the internet that I've missed? It's not out of malice that...

I'm not going to lie, Matchbox Twenty was a band I truly enjoyed as a child. Listening to old CDs brings back plenty of great memories and I had forgotten all about the 902s band until now. Mysto & Pizzi have quite a reputation to uphold and I was both excited and skeptical to see what they could have possibly come up with to pair with She's So Mean . Known most for creating the Somebody's Watching Me jingle later associated with the Gieco commercial (Stack of cash with eyes ring a bell?), and [...]
Taylor Swift non ci sta e decide di riprendersi la vetta della Billboard Hot 100, con il suo ultimo singolo "We Are Never Ever Getting Bach Together". Salgono, dietro di lei, anche i Maroon 5 con "One More Night", seguita da Flo Rida con "Whistle". Rientra in top ten anche Pink con "Blow Me (One Lasr Kiss), dalla 11 alla 6. Justin Bieber Featuring Big Sean con "As Long As You Love Me" guadagna due posizioni (da 9 a 7). Perde posti, invece, Katy Perry con "Wide Awake" (da 7 a 11), preceduta da "Call Me Maybe" [...]
