matchbox twenty (originally Matchbox 20) is a modern rock band from Orlando, Florida. The current members of the band are Rob Thomas, vocals; Brian Yale, bass; Paul Doucette, drums; and Kyle Cook, lead guitar. Thomas, Yale and Doucette had played the band Tabitha's Secret in Orlando, Florida before splitting apart to form Matchbox 20 with Gaynor and Cook.

They released their first album, yourself or someone like you in 1996. While their first single, "Long Day", was a rock radio-only smash, the album soon spun off several Top 40 hit singles throughout 1997 and 1998, including "Push", "3 A.M.", "Real World" and "Back 2 Good". The album eventually went on to sell over 12 million copies in the US alone, earning diamond status.
