The Matches Talk Album Leaks
Epitaph artists The Matches are taking a different approach than Victory Records regarding illegal album downloads for their upcoming A Band In Hope (due out March 18).
When you download or rip the album, do something nice for a stranger. Give a dollar to one.org. Jumpstart a car. Give a rose to an old woman eating alone. Leave an open ended love letter in someone’s shoe at the gym. But actually, those examples are not as great as the ones you will come up with! Take a video of it on your camera or cameraphone or if you don’t have that, take a photo, or draw a picture, and send it to us (or yousendit.com it if it’s a big file) to us at abandinhopepayment@gmail.com
Of course, when March 18th rolls around, it’s still hugely helpful to us if you buy the record. Yet we only ask that you purchase it if you love it and/or want to/ have the means to support us.

It’s cool that this is something they want to do for their album, but I know it’s not going to fly with other artists.

I dig this. It’s a clever approach and however impractical it may be, it’s in the right spirit.

It’s a good there there not on victory. They’d probably get sued.
