"Indie music can be pretty hit or miss. You Shaped Curve, however, is right on the mark. For a band that is unsigned, Matchless has turned out an extremely polished and mature piece of work. Never in a Vermillion Years draws the listener in with sweet harmonies while El Nino takes you on a raucous ride. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking for truly original, authentically delivered indie-rock."
Encore! Encore!

"Matchless has given us a glipse of what rock is all about. They bring a stunning combination of technical skill and sheer animal drive to this CD. I was grabbed by the tight rhythm and carried aloft by melodic soul buzzing blends. Their music is refreshingly original and stands defiantly in the face of those who would try compare or catagorize it. The one short coming of this CD is appearent only after you've heard them live. But in the mean time...the replay button is activated."

"Rarely does a product APPRECIATE IN VALUE the more you use it. This album does. You can hear it once and like it, but the more you listen to it, the more you will value it. The music is simple in its tools and format, and that is its strength because optimal use is made of everything available. The music is melodius, haunting and personal. It is pure musical art in terms of how the artists project their work and how the audience will receive it."
