Background notes
Archive material and source history
Matchbox formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1993 with Carl Martin on vocals and guitar, Adam Gaynor on bass, and Chris Miller on drums. They put out their first album, 'Midnight Oil,' in 1995. Their second album, 'Yourself or Someone Like You,' came out in 1997 and included the song '3 AM,' which did well on rock radio.
In 1999, they released 'Mad Season,' which had 'Put The Blame On Me' on it. That song got some radio play and became the one people remember. They also had tracks like 'All The Boys (Love My Baby)' and 'Back-Row Romeo' around that time.
They kept making records into the 2000s, with Martin staying as the constant member while other people came and went. The band's sound was straightforward rock with lyrics that leaned toward relationship stuff, which worked for them on songs like 'Black Slacks' and 'Gunning For The Dog.'
