As much as I wanna hear the new album, I'm still going to wait for the release date and BUY the album like it should be.
I'm excited for it and I can wait until it comes out.
Wow. Awesome. Speechless. Hope Indeed.
-rb, the new guy yesterday
Hmm... Yeah I want the new album too. I'll try to get my dad into buying me one. Haha.
It's sooo unfortunate that nobody sells a Matches cd in this place!
Wow that is an awesome deed. I love the creativity and effort that went into that.
And that quote from Between Halloweens if my favorite off the new cd.
wow that was awesome...enough said.
The link doesn't work for me. Shoot. I feel neglected.
Oh, I take it back, it just worked.
That was really cool.
I haven't downloaded the albumn, and Idon't intend to.
When I hear you guys, I want to have the full experience.
But I'll still do some good deeds.
The World needs them
that rocks!
it really really does
makes baking cupcakes and cleaning the house seem silly...haha
but i find that im having trouble hiding from the new stuff
i wish it would go away until the 18th so the new stuff wouldnt be spoiled
That was a cute video and a very good idea. I'v only downloaded a few songs off the new album but I pre-ordered the CD this morning. Cant wait to get it!
That was quite nifty. Also, I couldn't send video, as my camera doesn't have a recording option :( I hope the photo of my deed was sufficient. (I was the one who was donating clothes to a shelter).
Alright, I'll admit, because you said that I just HAD to get the leak. It is orgasmic. Incredibly unique and imperfect as it should be.
I will see you in Milwaukee in April. I will also buy your CD when it comes out. It is worth buying.
Love,
Emily
I wanted to spread the love that is the new album, but my friend decided he'd rather be moral and wait until he came home from school and it was out.
Every time I even listen to it, I try to do something good for someone. Why advertise good deeds on something as public as the internet though? Isn't that actually bad karma?
Well, I don't have any video because...well, I just don't. But I did hand out valentines day pinwheels to the mentally handicapped students in my school and couple of kids around campus. Can I still send photos?
-D
That was so cool. I wish I could come up with something as clever.
I feel like a terrible person for getting the album early. I have a friend that happens to be a fierce pirate of the internet and got hold of it way before you posted. :/ I needed to confess that to you just to get it off my chest because I did feel pretty guilty about it, even as I swayed and head banged helplessly to the new catchy riffs and choruses. It's a really good album though, fantastic if I do say so myself. Clouds crash is beautiful, purely beautiful and poetic and the cleaned up version of to build a mountain was refreshing and profound. Yankee In A Chip Shop is so danceable I lose complete conscious control of my body every time I play it. Perfection In Deed, I think.
I plan to buy the new album through pre-order to make up for my crime against my favorite band. I really love you guys, and I'm weak when it comes to unheard music that I've been dying to hear for a very long time. I think I'm going to come up with a good karma video too with my pirate friend.
I promise that if my other friends that have the album now do not buy the cd I will buy 5 per person to make up for it and then some. It's totally worth spending money I don't have. :] Have a good day.
I'm waiting til it comes out. CD releases are too exciting to ruin with a download
the album is amazing but i just need to think of something only fractionally as creative as this group. that was such a cool idea.
Wow.. that's clever.
The album is amazing.
And don't worry I'm in the works of a good deed to send in as well.
And also don't worry..
I'll be buying like twenty copies when it comes out.
xo.
can you someone sum up what the video is? for some reason, it won't work for me. i think my computer hates quicktime.
oops. scratch that "you". it's 6am and my mind hasn't quite adjusted yet.

my friend kevin kearney and his little sister will be at your show on april 11th at irving plaza. He and his siter are huge matches fans, bigger than me i'd say. It is his sister's sixteenth birthday AND her first concert. it would be AMAZING if you guys played happy b-day to her!
Could you please consider. I've done a lot of street-teaming for you guys and It'd mean a lot for me, kevin, and his siter, charolette!
ANYTHING, you could do to make her sweet sixteen special would be awesome.!!!
-chris conte
I know youll do something creative for her. shes a super nice girl. her whoel family is AMAZING. they are so nice its unreal.
Help me out please.
P.S. A band in hope= my favorite album ever.
see you guys the 11th!
What if i volunteer at a food pantry every week. I cant film that people get offended.
I am still waiting, but I have been trying to find the right time to do something good. You have inspired me...well I guess there is no time like the presnent. I really admire you guys for this.
Umm I don't have a video camera but I will definitely take pictures or tell you about my good karma when you get here April 25th!
i downloaded it, but i also already pre-ordered it in the package deal. so do i still need to do good deeds?
Good Deed?
I redid my little brothers myspace page for him!
And im taking him to a show!
Is that a good name?
<3

this has completely nothing to do with anything but i saw you at the sydney soundwave festival and i was the one that had the matches shirt and waved you over to me before the show. i forgot to tell you at the time that i downloaded the album and it is fantastic and i made a video and sent it in (and i hope it worked) but that i am still planning to buy the cd when it comes out too.
Kudos to you guys! It's really amazing that even though your CD is out there already, people are still going to buy the real disk AND you're getting people to do good deeds!
-D
i just got my ap in the mail!
its stunning....that shoot you did turned out so so well! i cant wait to read the article (i fear it wont do you guys justice) oh my goodness im beyond excited....truly eeeeeee!
So, my good deed was rather unexpected. It just fell into my lap. Will you guys accept re-enactments?
I feel bad for downloading it,
but I couldn't resist.
And I like that you are accepting the inevitable with good atitude, Shawn, it shows a lot about you.
Anywho, I love the album.
Every song is interesting and fresh.
Oh, and I love how Jon did vocals for "Darkness Rising." That was nice.
I will most definately try and do a good deed, and my heart will be in it.
oh by the way, the video just got to loading for me, and it was very sweet.
if only i was imaginative enough to do something like that.
good job to whoever made it.
See... I wish I had that sort of time on my hands.
I finally got it to load. =^]
And I've been doing good deeds left and right.
But my camera is dead soooooooo I just do them to do them, not to get credit.
WOOHOO!!!
I pre-ordered the album and am now impatiently waiting. =^]
i don't understand how you people got ahold of the cd. it may be due to the fact that i'm dumb but i don't even know how to get a bootleg copy of anything let alone a copy of the new cd. i guess i'll be the only dope that waits until the release date
I'll have my good deed done by the time of your gig in Cardiff.
I'll be bringing it with me.
Don't worry though, I've preordered the loserkids deal too :D
It leakeddd.
It's just floating around the internet, basically.
You could probably find it if you tried.
;)
I'm yet to download A Band in Hope... I hear good things though!
Hope you're all doing well! Hows the European tour going?
after searching for e. von dahl for about a year (no one in melbourne sells in...damn aussies) i finally found it in hmv and convinced my mum to buy it for me as a birthday present, but she won't let me listen to it till then!
so for now i'm contenting myself with downloading as much of a band in hope as i can (but of course i'm going to buy the album as soon as it comes out).
and please please PLEASE shawn, i've told you this already and i know that you can't hepl it, but can you TRY and play a sideshow in melbourne that isn't overage? or at least come back when i'm 18?
still love you guys.
wow, way to put me and my shenanigans to complete shame.
"play a sideshow in melbourne that isn't overage? or at least come back when i'm 18?"
I can't imagine it being hard to get passed a venue security guard. I think at the last Aus. tour the shows weren't even at actual venues, just community centers and stuff like that. Chances are you can get in no problem. Unless, you look like a 10 year old.
I'm being one of your loyal friends and anxiously waiting for the 18th so I can give myself an early birthday present by listening to the new album! I'm really excited!
