MATCHBOX TWENTY
From Orlando, Florida. Led by Rob Thomas (vocals) with Kyle Cook (guitar), Adam Gaynor (guitar), Brian Yale (bass) and Paul Doucette (drums). A straight ahead rock band with great vocals and musicianship. That said, their place in a book about alternative rock artists seems very dubious indeed. Yet, they have placed several hits into the alternative charts which only suggests that the end of alternative radio is very near! The band was formerly known as Tabitha's Secret and had secured a deal with Atlantic records. Thomas instead fired his band and took the contract assembling a new band around him. This resulted in a lawsuit against Thomas by the members of Tabitha's Secret who have gone ahead and released the demos plus new songs independently. Quite unexpectedly, Thomas then lent his voice to a song he gave to Carlos Santana which resulted in a massive hit for the legendary guitarist and gave some much needed credibility back to Thomas. The band went on hiatus for a while and Thomas released a solo disc. By 2007 the band was back in action, sans Gaynor. 1997-present.
