Matchbox are an English rockabilly band that formed in 1971, and is still active as of 2019.
Formed in Middlesex,by Iain "Houndog" Terry, Fred Poke, Jimmy Redhead and Wiffle Smith. After 1978, the line-up consisted of Graham Fenton (lead vocalist), Steve Bloomfield (lead guitar, vocals), Gordon Scott (rhythm guitar), Fred Poke (bass guitar) and Jimmy Redhead (drums). Redhead had left in 1973, Smith in 1977 and Lupton in 1978 to tour with Chuck Berry. Dick Callan joined Matchbox on guitar, saxophone and violin until approximately 1985, writing many of the band's B-sides.
The band's biggest hits include "Rockabilly Rebel", "Midnite Dynamos", a cover of The Crickets' "When You Ask About Love" (their only top five hit), and "Over the Rainbow" (adapted musical song, 1980). In Australia, the band and album were dubbed Major Matchbox to prevent confusion with an Australian band of a similar name.Their last single, "I Want Out" (1983) from their album, Crossed Line, was produced together with Kirsty MacColl.The band appeared in the 1980 film Blue Suede Shoes which detailed the revival of 1950s rock 'n' roll music scene at the time.
