5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastic emo hardcore screamo mellow album! buy now!, 20 April 2003
this is a fantastic EP and absolutely well worth buying there hopefully should be a full legnth out within the next year but this will tide you over till then. if you are a fan of such bands as thursday, finch, glassjaw, hot rod cirtcuit, redefine etc then this is a must have. it combines melodic guitars with thrashy screams and heavy riffing all in one song. hollywood and vine is a personal favourite and it is exellent the way the tempo of the song chages so quickly. even if you are a fan of nfg n such like this album could be for you as well as any fan of slipknot (maybe not)it is a superb album that has a lot of influences and they shine through well worth the money hope this was helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 17 Jan 2006
What a fantastic little mini-album this is. I bought the stories and alabis when it was released and was blown away by the mixture of hardcore guttoral screams and amazing emotianal vocal melodies.
This album is no different and if not a little heavier in parts it still lives up to what I expected from them.

Too many people hear the word emo then run a mile, I think they should listen to this band and others(such as silverstein) before they make any pre-judgements based on a pretty dire past of emo music. I believe breakthrough bands such as this and story of the year, will begin a new dawn for emo and its a dawn i am all too happy to wake up too.

This mini-album is a little taster of what is to come from a brilliant band. I eagerly await their new full studio album.

4.0 out of 5 stars www.stateofemergency.net, 13 Feb 2004
This review is from: West for Wishing (Audio CD)
Matchbook Romance are an exciting new signing to the Epitaph label. Stumbled upon and signed by its very owner Brett Gurewitz Who has followed up his investment by producing their debut EP. This was all the product of a successful internet and word of mouth campaign conducted by the band them selves.

They have a sound that when described on paper resembles the melodic-hardcore trend of late. Once this EP is spinning in your stereo on the other hand, the truth of their musical arrangement and Brett’s production become clear. This is emotional and deep without loosing any of it’s progressive forward motion as it blast through it’s 5 tracks before it is sorely missed until play is hit for the umpteenth time.

The song ‘The Greatest Fall – (of all time)’ is a vastly intelligent and poignant look at a failing relationship; highly impressive in ones so young. ‘You pick me apart, while I search for witty things to say (in my defense)’ is a line listeners the world over will be able to indulge in many times throughout their lives.

This EP is full of emotional and twinkling melodies and vocal harmonies that despite bands like ‘Thursday’ are yet to sound stale. With a powerful and fast rhythm section that can and is called upon at just the right moment Matchbook Romance have that powerful but not juxtaposed bed of sound to carry the vocals whilst giving them weight and complimentary pushes forward when necessary.

Special mention must go the artwork and general feel of the supplied EP case. It is good to see a band/label producing good quality goods that go beyond the audio on the disc and are pleasing to the eye. It is an entire package that you can be proud to own.

If this is any indication as to the sheer talent Matchbook Romance possess then it is surely no surprise that Brett Gurewitz snapped them up so fast and is evidently behind them every step of the way. Finally a gleaming new hope for the future of melodic-hardcore!

Standout Tracks: ‘The Greatest Fall’ & ‘Farewell To Friends’.
