Matchbox Twenty

BIOGRAPHy

One of the world’s most popular bands, Matchbox Twenty was formed in Orlando, Florida, in 1995 and rose to international fame with their debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You (1996), which was certified diamond in the United States and multi-platinum in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Their second album, Mad Season, released in 2000, charted in the top three on the Billboard 200 and was certified quadruple platinum in the United States. Their third album, More Than You Think You Are, released in 2002, was certified double platinum in the United States. The band then went on hiatus in 2004, and rhythm guitarist Adam Gaynor left the band in 2005 after performing on the first three studio albums. Eventually, Paul Doucette took over rhythm guitar, and the band reunited and released a compilation album, Exile on Mainstream, in 2007, which was certified gold in the United States. After the release, former Push Stars drummer Ryan MacMillan filled Doucette’s vacated drum spot. Matchbox Twenty then took another hiatus but reunited again in 2010. The band released North, their fourth album, on September 4, 2012, which made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200. Matchbox Twenty continues to tour the world.
