The Skinny: Summer camp is good for a few things like not having to work, starting and ending a summer romance, and/or finding 3 guys to start a band with. In the summer of 2008 all of those things happened. Matthew had been using the Commerce name to record songs for a couple of years with an unstable lineup of 12 different members, but everything changed after that eventful summer at camp. These four new friends started playing music together and recorded their EP, What Happens Now, for a California girl that Matthew had never met.
After gaining some national attention for What Happens Now from the likes of Alternative Press, Blurt, and Absolutepunk, Commerce went back into the studio and their homes to record their first full-length record together as a band. More determined than ever before, they worked through over 40 plus songs. The end result is what will be a two-sided, 14 track album, titled The Things I Say vs. The Things I Mean, set for release in early fall 2010. Filled with dynamics, counter melodies, and layers of lush instrumentation, Commerce continues to creates sounds that will get past the regret, get over the distance, and get everyone on with their lives.
