Chris dropped into the BBC studios to push the new Matchbox Heroes single 'This Is You This Is Me' and played an acoustic version of the Goo Goo Dolls classic 'Iris' for good measure.

MATCHBOX HEROES - Paper Hearts

Here's a cover I put together of John Lennon's 'Imagine'. The idea came to me after hearing a mash up of Imagine and Band On The Run - hadn't heard the song in a while and thought I would have a go at it! Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to check out other Matchbox Heroes sounds and stuff. Thanks for listening!

Valentine

I decided to start releasing some of the material we recorded over the last two years from the vault. Seems a shame to let it sit unplayed/unenjoyed in the studio...

Anyway - hope you enjoy the first one - it's called '26'.

MBH

Twenty Six

The second installment - This song was recorded at some point in 2013/14 and it never saw the light of day. If I am honest I completely forgot about it because we did the acoustic release 'Stand With Me' instead.

It's called 'Changing' - hope you enjoy!

Hold On

Matchbox Heroes are singer/songwriters from the South East of England. Founded and led by Chris Walker and Andy Walker, they entertain crowds with their energetic acoustic sets and lively stage banter. 
 
Influenced by bands ranging from Feeder to Keane, Snow Patrol to the Police, the acoustic/pop/rock upstarts write catchy songs with sing along choruses and soothing melodies.
 
2014 has seen a change of pace and sound for Matchbox Heroes. Their 4th EP titled 'Stand With Me' is an entirely acoustic offering and was supported with an acoustic tour in March. The new single 'Our Time' has been featured on radio stations across the UK and USA. The band will continue to gig and tour over the Summer and Autumn of 2014.

The pair took guidance from Dan Wilson (of Adele and Semisonic fame) whilst writing their first record and the self-titled EP was released in 2012, featuring on radio stations across the world. It was gigged extensively throughout the UK and the track 'No One Else' was also featured on www.valueofvolunteering.org and their conservation video filmed in Nicaragua.
 
The summer of 2013 saw Matchbox Heroes create their own label; Cheese And Onion Records, and the release of their eagerly anticipated second EP, ‘Nice To Know You’. The record received critical acclaim with sell out shows, busy promotional schedules and several festival appearances ensuring it became a fan favourite. Bridging the gap between the blossoming English acoustic scene and the energetic pop-rock sounds of the American top 100, 'Nice To Know You' combined catchy melodies and intelligent lyrics with toe-tapping, sing along anthems.
 
Following on from the success of tracks such as Paper Hearts and Love Will Win, the band released a single for the autumn of 2013. The track, titled 'This Is You This Is Me' was self-produced and enjoyed airplay across many of the UK's radio stations. It also featured as the bonus studio track on 'One Night With Matchbox Heroes', a limited release live recording taken from when the band opened for Toploader in the Summer of 2013.
 
Matchbox Heroes have opened for several high-profile bands such as Toploader, We Were Promised Jetpacks and Ed Sheeran.
