Matchbook Romance was an American pop-punk[7] and emo band from Poughkeepsie, New York, initially formed in 1997 under the name Fizzlewink (1997–2001) and then The Getaway (2001–2002).
[9] After being officially signed, they changed their name once again to Matchbook Romance in order to avoid a name conflict with The Getaway, a Canadian based Pop-punk band.
The lead single "Monsters" appeared in Madden NFL 07,[11] Arena Football: Road to Glory, and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as well as few other games.
[12] After this tour, the band decided to work on separated projects: Drummer Aaron Stern went on to join God or Julie.
[15] The band finally, went on to play a few shows in early 2016 to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of their second album before parting ways again.
