The Matches - Yankee In A Chip Shop (video)

[SkaraDead]

Miss them so muuch

[fluffybuffy101]

0:01 no ad please!

[SaccharineLlama]

aah, love this band... "say Hey! and say it like you mean it cause it doesn't mean a thing, so it's easier to scream it." lolz.. <3

[sexiibetch911]

Great video! My question is though, why would they strive for the negative reactions? It's way more fun when the locals are participating and having a great time with you. They should of done this more for a random act of kindness than trying so hard to have the opposite effect of what the Beatles where for Americans to the locals of London. That's just something I don't get. It's like they wanted to make people think Londoners don't know how to have a great time.

[yhm8gaggy]

@sexiibetch911 thats the thing though, most people in england are so fucking miserable and stuck up they cant see the funny side to this sort of thing, that why i left the country soon as i could anyways!

[brwnfries]

i wonder what they were really saying to the ppl on the streets to piss them of ahahaha

[sammyboi11890]

@brwnfries " Hi, we're American"

[OhNoNotStereo]

Love this video!! So creative. Shawn's new band MANIAC is really great too,

check them out if you haven't already. (He helped us with artwork for our upcoming single!)

[SaxtonPalmer]

This video makes me so happy (:

[bassplayrkinda]

my life has never been the same since the hiatus =/

[MeteoraXV]

goddamn it shawn left the band

[madder36]

sigh... they were such a vastly underrated band

[djdarkmunk]

I've had this song stuck in my head for two days now. Catchy much? <3 The Matches!

[stevye2008]

i love how theyre from oakland. its hard to find good bands i like in the bay area theses days

[maybemarsepitaph]

So they're not calling it permanent quits? Now I'm relieved.

[wickedwarren]

First time I've heard this, but its really good, sounds a bit like the enemy!

[SifuAntonioLee]

epic song!!

[SheffieldTV]

Infact come to think of it filming in London is corny. Redo the video in a good NORTHERN chippie. Yes I take these kind of things seriously.

[SheffieldTV]

This is a great tune its just a shame that it wasn't filmed in REAL chippies (chip shops). :o)

[hermionefan34]

I just discovered the Matches the other day.

It's crazy how different their new stuff is from their older stuff.

Hope they arent on hiatus forvever though...

=[

[jollydevil6]

Sorry to say but The Matches have disbanded for a while now. I know because I live in their area. Anyways, the lead guitarist of The Matches started his own band with new members called Bird By Bird. Check it out.

[SkSk920]

They are, it's a permanent hiatus :(( I miss themm

[danardone]

I dig the retro 80s feel.

[poddylamb]

They Sound like early Weezer

[lover4stuff]

dudes & dudeets i llove the matches i cant belive they not makin music no more wwawawawawawa :(

[J4K30000]

@lover4stuff holy fuckin grammer dude....im no let teacher or anything, but shit dude.....

[J4SM1NN]

this video made my day.

[OhNoNotStereo]

i absolutely love this band.

[scarletpath]

Holy Goodness, I will miss the Matches and them playing their acoustic guitars everywhere.

[TheSaraBelle]

this hiatus better be the shortest goddamn hiatus ever.

[GabbyAlicex]

Agreed. I can't stand the idea of them not making music anymore.

[stupiddirteater]

Try searching their other songs/videos. this one isn't their greatest.

[S0meRand0mD00d]

personally, i like the vocals

audio blood is one of their more famous songs

maybe you like it, maybe you don't ;)

[freshXrr]

love it, love it, love it. these guys kick so much ass i can't even begin to explain it. (:

[andiclimb]

jon at 1:57 haha!

[damonjwood]

This rocks.

[Iishieboo]

I love how Shawn comes back to look at his smexy reflection just one more time. xD

[zekk50]

This is an extemely great band. They Deserve way more attention.

[ZaCHw117]

i agree they are a great band, but i dont want them to get HUGE. its cooler when bands stay on the DL.

[ZarahKiddo]

hahahahaha

[lizzielonglegs]

You know you love it really loz.

XD

[lizzielonglegs]

Lauren smells ..

I am messing with your mind ..

Is it working ??

xxxxxxx

[lizzielonglegs]

OMG LOZ MY COMMENT GOT REMOVED BY AUTHOR

because i said the lead singer was hott nd that london rocks ??

:S explain please "author"

xx

[ZaCHw117]

your the author of your comment, so you must have removed it lol.

[nukem858]

i love how you spelled "because, baritone, tenor, you, who, to, and for" incorrectly.

don't fucking think that you can tell people what they should and shouldn't listen to...

this is nothing like barber shop quartet music.

and if you don't like it. don't comment on it. it's as stupid as that.

personally i found this song a bit repetitive, but this band definitely has potential to create a hit or two if they just kick things up a notch or two

[skrattsmurfan]

I like the song<3

[ElCupcakeThief]

This is always a joy to hear live. x)

[AFakeFairytale]

I was in London last week and we specially went to Kingston to see the phone boxes that are in the video. It was so fun :') I love The Matches + this song + this video.

[OMGitsbarusoDUH]

amazing

[MegooStation]

Awe, I love this song.

:)

It has like a twist of classic punk :D

How cute.

[cwalkingfool]

the drummer lives down the street from me i got his autograph

[sk8erdoodcoolio]

do you go on every The Matches video and say this cause i feel like no one really cares. Yea they are a great band but we dont care if you live near them

[sillykatie29]

unless your planning on giving me their autographs or inviting me over sometime to meet them, i agree with sk8er

[cairowinters]

i love these guys nicole

[andiclimb]

this is awesome

[punkvampiregoddess]

their best and awesomes song is sick little suicide. by far.

[ChaosAndCupcakes123]

Mmmmm.

Chips.

[1RandomOne]

This brought the lol's.

I love everyone's "What the fuck" face.

AWESOME!

[princetaxan]

What happened to The Matches? They completely changed their sound from their first cd. I thought they were great back then, then they come out with this entirely new sound that I just find horrible. I guess its just not the sound for me.

[WeLikeTheMoon62]

...and thats OK too. I personally perfer the newer stuff, but thats my taste.  this is called an adult discussion on YouTube! amazing! lol

[FormaLSDParty]

Holy crap! People being respectful of each others opinions! We can't have that!

You're both ignorant twats! their second album was the best!

Papercutskin4lyfe!

[OhSpareMeTheTime]

You have gotta love The Matches.  :D

[unhxrockerx2012]

HEY! on 2:03 those phone booths are on Olde London Road in Kingston, London! That's actually a really cool thing to see in real life...

[DanHoward87]

I was there when they filmed that bit... the police came along and stopped them filming. Was pretty funny.

[TimF1994]

Why aren't baseball player's allowed to buy lays?

[Gurlygurl27]

"fuck we gotta go"

Best ending to a song, haha

I like how they did the coloring and stuff...and I also love the fact that everybody else in this video looks either pissed off or confused

[TheNightRanger]

i love at 1:35 when he's trying to get the guy to say HEY!

[helloalishaa]

matt whalennnnnn is my hero! :D

[ChaosAndCupcakes123]

Me too :D

[HybridSprinter08]

RED LIGHT DISTRICT!!!

[kellyyaanne]

no match to e.von dahl

[rkusant]

Great video for a great song.

[BleachOnepieceNaruto]

makes me happy

[xGerardxLindsayxWayx]

this kind of reminds me of Modest Mouse... i mean, the singers sound a bit similar. generes are not that close.

[IHateTheBBC]

i work with an american girl in the local chip shop.

i will sing this song to her.

[ETFcrashandburn]

i love shawn :)

he is such a great artist XP

[devilzreality93]

wacky not the best they have done but i still like this video

[leaveabsolution]

Aw..Not my favorite song..But I love them still!

[IndieRockJunkie]

I wonder if they were suprised that no-one asked 'do you want cheese with that?'...

[whisperxmexmelodys]

BAHAHA

this song/ video makes my life.

Shawn=mai hero,

I hope they keep up the good work : )

[ricaroo94]

<333333333

[testtrack321]

keep making what you guys love. you guys have followers like me no matter what, we get the band, not a specific album. i've grown up with you guys and will continue to. can't wait for the next part of my life/your next album...

[Xdanith]

i dont like this song much, the matches old stuff was better.

[Weeble818]

their old stuff was alot better, but i think this a pretty good song. no contest from decomposer and e.von dahl though

[Xdanith]

definitely im not saying this sucks, its alright, but i liked how weird the matches old songs were.

[darkenmyday]

they sound alot lyk da sex pistols in this 1

[krazychica1234]

ooops sorry i just couldn't hold them damn yankeees back

[butteredtoast22]

these guys are one of my favorite by far from Epitaph, very talented.

[ETFcrashandburn]

Great song =] To give my opinion, The Matches are doing lovely! I definitely love Decomposer the best though. I think A Band In Hope was ALRIGHT, but Decomposer made them stand out. Shawn, If your reading this, (which i doubt) I wuv you and the band, and you guys should make another album like decomposer. :D

[rkusant]

legit as shit

[JoshMglosh]

BLOODY YANKS =P

good song though =)

[strungoutoz]

Hows about new rules just for you chasemeemo. You hold ya breath and just die ya fucking twit.

[heffaplease]

lol i'm down with that, chasemeemo, try it, tell us how it went.dork

[justmyrinda]

i saw them at AP tour like last april?

and i like almost got killed when they played XD

Theyre pretty damn rad though

[ScreamoBoy13]

wait at the chamilion club in jersey?

[justmyrinda]

no it was at POPS in illinios/st louis

[mickbynes]

They're pretty cool!

[XTh3xN0b0dyX]

FUCK YEAAH!

[Britainlockman]

almost all of their songs are equally as great

[AznSmith]

Oh, totally agree. One of the few bands I can truly say that for...

[blackXSpr]

e von dahl was their best album

[nzsk8ergurl]

feakn awsum band theyr legends!!

[schism4209]

I'll cough up some phlegm and serve it to you all with some pancakes after I beat you in a game of basketball.

[jacaylin]

shall we call you prince? hahahahahaha.

[axekincaid]

I love this video. They seem to have used British creative elements for it. This video is "A Hard Days Night" meets Monty Python. Wicked great band.

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

Also check out the video for "All or Nothing" by The Small Faces. It's on Youtube...

[markmason36]

Im suprised they didnt get stabbed in london lol. maybe there just to loveable

[akjohnson5150]

Great Stuff!

[Gurlygurl27]

Wasn't this the video that they made out of their own pockets and then got put through a ton of legal bullshit for? It's awesome, but wtf about all that legal crap.

[IndieRockJunkie]

no i think that was Salty Eyes. The legal stuff. Well... is posing as government officials and charities punishable by law? To quote Shawn 'we lied... we lied a lot to people.'(see Making of Salty Eyes)

[iwishiwasbritney]

they went through A LOT of shit for this video...totally worth it :)

[cardboardfrog]

i have to say, they've certainly captured a little bit of british polite xenophobia here.

Americans and chip shops?! what a silly mix!

cool song, catchy too

[SpaggyB]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love Matt at 1:09 hahaha =) these guys are awesome! and really nice! they were stoked when we met them hahaha =)

[SevenArks]

I get so excited thinking about my boytoy and the videos we make...

[FoxyTheFoxNetworkFox]

i miss when people didn't like them just because they were "catchy".

i liked this album, but e von dahl and decomposer were way better :/

turns out i'm not the only one that thinks that.

[Gurlygurl27]

No, you definitely aren't.

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

why would u think that? Have you asked anybody else cuz i loved all their albums but Decomposer and E. Von Dahl are definitely my favs. E. von Dahl was definitely their most "catchy" album btw

[helloalishaa]

those days were the shit.

i still wish it was that way... =/

but i love A BAND IN HOPE!!!!!

my love for these guys never has and never will change :D

the matches will ALWAYS continue to put out amazing music...

& shawn will write the best song ever...eventually, haha

<3

[monroegoreville]

e. von dahl > a band in hope

[zeechet]

i love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[strummer101]

Great shots of London.

[shotgun12321]

Cant say I like this song a whole lot....but the video is very well done

[xToxsiik]

I can't believe they tried to ban that. Whyyy

[papertigers142]

I miss the days of E Von Dahl... less hipster and more heart

[indianajoe12]

Amen man, they were kickass back then.

[SpaggyB]

i love all their stuff =)its good they have a variety of music =) stuff i can chill to and stuff i can dance to =)

[emogoesrawr]

Gosh.

Why have I not found this band sooner? They are extremely catchy. :)

[MightyWoose]

I love this video :)

I'm glad it finally got out after all that to-do with the police and whatnot

Great band

[AudioBleeder]

fun fun fun :D

[ETFcrashandburn]

Shawn did a lot of work on the transitioning, and it shows! great job!

I dig it

[xkaylx]

Cooool

[Chameleon569]

crapshit

[libbythesmoshaddict]

This video looks like it was a lotta fun to shoot.

I love The Matches.

[emosupersniper]

omg i know where that shop is!

[rwmh1]

kebab shops also sell chips

[davnut]

know shit

[Rosie999]

I love the song and video =D

[kraffers]

The 'yankee's' are in a kebeb shop NOT a chip shop and they're lucky the owners didn't carve them up. Bunch of fannies! The song's pretty dire too...

[emosupersniper]

fucking idiot...ever been to london? kebab shops sell chips you peanut..there arnt any shops in london which just sell chips..gawd!

[kraffers]

What are you swearing at me for?

And yes I live in london and there is a big difference between a chip shop where you buy traditional english fish and chips from and a kebab shop where you buy kebabs from but can also have chips.

You are a sad lonely coward who has nothing better to do than have a go at people that you don't know from the safety of your home computer.

I hope you wise up soon and realise that there is a wonderful world out there to enjoy.

Good luck mate

[Sonicspin]

What a great video! Well done guys. Now how about a vid for Between Halloweens?

[ohaipercy]

i love the matches :)

[skaterorwhatever]

=] i luv these guys <3

[kiriaka1972]

Reminds me of the Beatles Hard Days Night. Love the Matches. You guys are so amazing. See, people still make real music!!

[peachy008]

seriously, who let the yankees in the chip shop?

the matches are so freakin awesome! <3

[shitpissbuttocks]

How appropriate was the chip machine at the Sydney show? Ya with me now?

[testtrack321]

best video ever? yes.

[GaaraRuLes13]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO (watch it in high quality! right now.)

[lizmck33ver]

the matches are amazing

[rarehound]

chain me free was the only good video

[mooshsbush]

fuck this video is rad! !! such a sweet band

[mushroomKID]

wish i didn't stumble across this piece of crap. =/

[rv186rs]

I bet I´m not the only one reacring to the change of look from the chain me free video ;)

lol amazing still, never boring

[l33thax0rzover9000]

Best fucking band in the world!!!

[irishgal4life]

I enjoy how at the 2:00 minute mark you can see a girl in the background "dancing" to the music they're playing, which shows that they legit, went around to places and disturbed people by playing the actual song. Oh man those guys are my heroes.

[NickRiavan]

Oh yeah, I heard it took epitaph so long to release this because they were having issues with the fact they got arrested for running across a roundabout.

[emosupersniper]

american idiots!..lol..nah..ive got nothing against americans

[IndieRockJunkie]

What? You can get arrested for running around a roundabout? And I thought that law on Tution Fees was stupid.

[NickRiavan]

Yeah it falls under Jwalking.

Not that I've ever seen anyone being arrested for this, but it's not like these guys weren't running around with a camera and guitars kind of drawing attention.

[NewYorkerCap]

light sounds, clear vocals, and somehow british "oldschool-style"

[GERARDSgirlX0X]

i like their style. =]

[AmberWatchTheSky]

hot dang do I love this video!

[KryssixCool]

They almost got run over a dozen times too.

woopsie doodle.

[backwashbab]

that is an amazing video!! one of my favs nice to see a band from the usa do a british style video

[TomSELECTT]

amazing! they never cease to impress.. they are top 3 fav bands of all time

[russasux]

i remember when no one knew who they were.

[myspaceaddict4life]

haha this is awesome.

[insertsomethingfunny]

Im so proud,theyve come so far and theyre still amazing!

[nileakanile]

yes finnally
