About

Pop punk band from Oakland, California, formed in 1997 by Bishop O'Dowd High School students Matt Esposito (lead guitar, backing vocals), Justin San Souci (bass guitar, backing vocals), Matt Whalen (drums, percussion), and Shawn Harris (lead vocals, rhythm guitar). Esposito left after graduating and was replaced by Jon Devoto. The band released a six-song demo and three-song EP, and built up a following in the East Bay. In 2002, threatened with a copyright infringement lawsuit by Yvonne Doll And The Locals, they changed their name to The Matches. The title of their first album, E. Von Dahl Killed The Locals, referred to the name change.
