Wake the Sun video, launched exclusively on yahoo music this week while we sat in jet planes, afraid to take off shoes for fear they would never fit again.
And a clarification: the blog was malfunctioning, and had I the power to post, I would have posted so, but then, I wouldn't have needed to post so if I could have, so we are left with this clarification. All is fixed. Not like a cat. Like a blog.

Have a fun and safe time on the AP tour!
Finally working for me last night.
Which is really nice, a lot of frustration went down on Wednesday.
Really good video, really good concept.
The lighting was excellent.
I sort of liked the whole transition from decomposer to a band in hope.
And, I'm glad to see posts again! Technology drives me crazy.
**as of last night, I'm sorry.
And have a great time on the alternative press tour.
If I could afford another seattle trip, I'd be there.
(and I actually tried too. didn't work too well.)
blog malfunction! and I thought blogs were the center of the universe? At least that's the conclusion I came to when I realized my equilibrium has been one-sided.
The internet not working? Preposterous! I'm psyched for AP Tour. See you in 16 (minus four) days.
'I would have posted so, but then, I wouldn't have needed to post so if I could have'
So much for clarifying. lawlz.
im glad all is well again
Im about to cry, you guys are sold out at the 9:30 club. This news comes just as im about to buy my tickets. Not to worry, i'll move hell and high water to see you guys. Or maybe i'll just drive a few extra hours
Wonderful video...Well done it left me speechless!!!!
that video is so simple but beautiful. i am absolutely in love with that song. i wish the ap tour was coming anywhere near me.
can't wait for the album. 4 days!
Today is a really great day!Finally Wake The Sun is working,(after the many times I've sat here being apologised to because Yahoo wouldn't play the video),and A Band In Hope comes out in my little part of the world!
Thankyou.
Wake the Sun is the perfect song to start your day to. I have programmed my cell phone to "sing" the song at me as my alarm in the AM. I enjoyed this immensely this morning.
Fear not. If your feet get too big for your shoes, I'll buy you new ones.
'Til then, it seems as though karma-like forces and whores are on your side.
I really like the new video.
I wish I could see you guys on the AP tour when it rolls into Cleveland, but my mom won't let me go.
She's scared of all the gangs and violence downtown.
i like the girl's comment above mine what gang violence in ohio? the worst they got there are smokers and teenagers quiting school to get married and having babies. i would see you guys again here in arizona but you are coming the week AFTER my spring break and although i would normally ditch wednesday is the day i have guitar lessons and it's the only class i look forward to during the week, but wish justin a happy birthday for me because wednesday is his birthday right? or sometime this week... ish
.... i seriously can't wait for your cd to come out
I really like the video. It was good to see something from you guys (obviously.)
SEE YOU ON SUNDAY!
=]
And the video made me smile and sing and dance.
oh my goodness!
today is such an exciting day!
first a walkout at school now this.
oh joyous days :)
I saw this on Wed. So great! The eagerness and the excitement. Lauren said it right on the boards: "Oh em gee you guys we totally DID it! I LOVE the sun!"
:D
i love the video! color that intense always makes me hyper-happy, and i've been singing that chorus pretty much all day
The video is so simple. I like it (especially the effects from the steel guitar), but, I'm definitely pumped for the yankee in a chipshop video I read about in AP.
...even though I'm still patiently waiting for my animated little maggots video... *cough* >.>
I SAW THE VIDEO!!! My best friend told me about it. I was like "HOW DID YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE MATCHES BEFORE ME?!?!?" and she said "Cause you do videos on Youtube. I do videos on Yahoo unless Yahoo doesn't have then THEN I go to Youtube." -.-
She had a great point.
But that will never happen again.
Next video, I'll see it before her.
Now... the video is AMAZING! I lovers it! Jon so doesn't look like Jon to me though... is it him? Maybe I'm just tired. I just got back from some concert. I considered it church for the next zillion years. I was tricked. I thought it was some hard rock concert but no it was a Christian rock concert with a bunch of really really boring depressing songs. All about how Jesus died. And I'm sure people are happy but... it's about death...
And the visuals was just not all that great.
But it was LOADS of fun. I'd do it all again. =^] The band I went with my friends to go see, they were great. If they said anything about Jesus, I missed it, and they had fire (I LOVE FIRE!) and they had music that was easy to dance too. =^]
ANYWAYS-
So I saw the video after that. My eyes may just be deceiving me... who knows? I don't. And then your guitar was SOOOOOOOOO pretty! And shiny! WOAH! I want one. Like, seriously... I'm jealous. And my friend had to point out (though, I am going to be honest... she didn't have to point this out) that at the end, when you boys are walking up to the camera... your guitar shines in a very very suggestive spot *cough*crotch shot*cough*
It made us giggle. =^]
But yes... I adore the new video. It's beautiful. =^]
You boys are purely amazing.
amazing.
So great to see another Matches video.
Time to get shoes that don't fit QUITE so tightly! :]
-D
I was just thinking roughly a day ago about when you guys would put out a new video.
Thank you for appeasing me.
P.S. After I read the AP article, and listened to the record, I was so thankful that you guys decided to keep going(and realized that not doing so was virtually impossible). Please, please, please don't ever stop making music.
Wake the Sun? or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDdokE1rAMw
haha
I was simply amazed by that beautiful guitar. I had to watch it several times before I could take my eyes off of it! Love the video. I hope to see more in the near future *cough*Yankees*endcough*.
beautiful video boys. can't wait till the 18th :)
Jeez kids. I love when people leave summaries of their lives in your comments. I'm sure you live vicariously through them. How's this for a story..There's an Urban Outfitters opening near me, I was going to get you a locket (in case you haven't already done so), but then I was wondering how big it should be. & then I realized I don't even have any moolah. See? Randomness is contagious.
But to get back on track, I love how true to yourselves you guys seemed in the video. Get it? No? Nevermind.
And this is why i love you guys.
All i have heard about is the Little Maggots animated video, then the buzz of the What Katie Said video with picture stills, and then stop motion Yankee In A Chip Shop video. Of course the first to come is the Wake The Sun, which i heard nothing about!
I completely adore the video bytheway, and the more i see, the more i love it! Excellent job!
Delightful video.
You have really skinnny legs.
3 more days. I'm about to shit myself.
See you on the 28th.
The video is so creative. Jon would be the guy pulling up the sun. I love it.
Jeez, Mary. I love when you leave summaries of your life in your comments.
:P
Anyway, any idea when we are getting that chewed up burrito?
-Marie
I liked the video, but feel it could have been better.
I agree with whoever said they'd buy you new shoes once you no longer need to fill the ones you already have, I'll chip in. I think that ship has sailed past the horizon though.
I'm upset that you're show at Irving plaza sold out so fast, so, once again, I have to travel to a different state to see you guys. With that said, see you in philly =D
Just curious, but when is the music video for "Yankee In A Chip Shop" open for the public to "ooh" and "awe" at?
The pictures for that video look artistic to a point where even those hating your band have to compliment.
Emily
Oh Marie, I know you sit at your computer refreshing waiting for me to comment. Well bask in the glory that is me....I'll wait.........How was it? Did it satisfy you? That was rhetorical, I know it did.
Oh no, conversations on blogs!!
Yay for the new video!
I love the song and video, absolutely amazing!! Hope this one finally gives you guys the break you deserve. Can't wait to see you in Buffalo.
God the best video that is out right now!!i can honstly say that i love this because its so simple and to the point!!
great video!!cant wait for wednesday!!
<3

blogging, eh? is that what you were so engrossed in last night? i cannot figure you out.
Shawn-
I was the "girl" you met on the first day of the AP Tour in Houston. I really hope that you're doing well...and I can't believe that I actually asked what band it was for...haha. I hope to see how the video turns out.
Lily
Happy release day! Listening to Clouds Crash looking out the airplane window, racing my preorder package to my doorstep. Had the songs for weeks and still the suspense.
happy actual release day!
Hi, it’s Rose. You know, the Swedish girl you met at the concert in London? x ]
I love the new music video. Glad to know there still are bands the put effort into their music videos. <3
Love the song as well. For years and years I’ve hated to wake up in the morning. But just a few days ago I got a second-hand cell phone which can play music. So now I have a certain song as my alarm. And these days I always wake up to that song and for the first time I wake with a smile on my face, happy to be alive. Guess which song? Yeah, Wake The Sun. ^^ I forgot to thank you for that, for giving me a reason to get up (at all)!
Oh, and while I remember! I just wanted to thank you for saying hi to my friend for me. I know it was a dorky thing to ask off you (believe me, I know) but it was real sweet of you to do it anyway. So thanks for that as well. ^^
Wow, long comment XD If you feel like replying or whatever you can always just drop me a line: that_rose@live.se
(Ah, what the hey, it’s worth a try, right? XD )
why would you choose yahoo? their videos have such bad quality. please don't sell out.
cute vid though, i love you eternally.
p.s. are we ever gonna get to see the videos for what katie said and little maggots? if not you will have a very disappointed fan on your hands.
MARY.
It's true.
-Marie
For some reason I grin uncontrollably every time I read "Not like a cat. Like a blog."
Anyway, cheers to the sexy video, cheers to the album dropping today, cheers to shark week, etc etc etc.
answer: sarcasm
oh yes, everyone's a sell-out.
wow. what happened?? a band in hope is nowhere near as amazing as your first two albums. i like maybe 4 of the 14 songs. i'm a huge fan and i'm sure i'll learn to love the whole thing after i've listened to it a few more times, but at this point i'm like...disappointed, man. this is not the matches usual amazing stuff

i dig. good seeing you at the AP showcase at SXSW! glad to be your "beacon of hope" anytime. ;]
might try and hike down to iowa (?) to see another show soon.
we should probably paint the town various forms of pastel colors.
Ok, wow! That video was amazing. I usually think that music videos take so much away from the song because there are tons of things going on, and most people only get into the song because they like the music video, but your music video was simple, yet it was beautiful, and it didn't take anything away from the song.
Saw you guys tonight. It was great; I never understood how people can lose their voice at a concert before now.
But it makes me sad you don't do post-concert shows anymore. I'd really hoped to hear more live. Good luck (or whatever you're supposed to wish musicians) on the rest of the tour.
