Matchbox Twenty - These Hard Times
Taken from the band's 2007 retrospective collection, Exile On Mainstream, 'These Hard Times' is one of the several new tracks recorded in LA last year with Grammy-winning producer Steve Lillywhite. '
These Hard Times' is also one of the new songs that signals the band's first collaborative writing experience - "For the first time, we're all writing as a band," says Grammy-winning lead singer Rob Thomas. "In the past, I would write all the songs and the guys would write all their parts. Now it's a band in the hand. We all fight it out… we fight over melodies and lyrics. It's completely
unique from anything we've done before."
Renowned for electrifying live performances, their 2003 world tour saw matchbox twenty play sold-out concerts at three of the world's premiere music venues - New York's Madison Square Garden, London's Wembley Arena, and Los Angeles' Staples Center.
matchbox twenty's three albums have sold more than 28 million copies worldwide to date, and the band's last studio album, More Than You Think You Are, earned the band two Grammy nominations and two American Music Award nominations.
matchbox twenty are Rob Thomas, Paul Doucette, Kyle Cook and Brian Yale.
