Matchbox Twenty, She's So Mean

Matchbox Twenty are a band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and is nowadays composed by Rob Thomas (vocals, piano and rhythm guitar), Kyle Cook (lead guitar and banjo), Brian Yale (bass guitar) and Paul Doucette (drums and percussion).

The band is also known for big hits like Unwell, Push and Disease.

They've released four studio albums Yourself or Someone Like You in 1996, Mad Season in 2000, More Than You Think You Are in 2002 and Exile on Mainstream in 2007.

When the guitarist Adam Gaynor left Matchbox Twenty on February 2005, the band decided to have a hiatus to give the members the opportunity to purchase and develop side projects. Another hiatus happened, after Exile on Mainstream, in 2009 when Rob Thomas released his second record Cradlesong which brought questions about the band's return. Gladly their returned happened on 2011 with a one-show return being described as "love letter to our fans". The really expected fifth record is set to be released next September 4th under the name North.

She's So Mean is the first single of North and the video portraits a really angry woman who at some point of the video, meets the band and starts breaking their instruments and even sets their things on fire.
Still a very pretty simple video but that really connects with the song's funny approach.

On an interview for Access Hollywood, Rob Thomas and Kyle Cook both explained She's So Mean wasn't about their wifes and really about no particular girl but “Sometimes really intelligent people will do things that they know aren’t good for them. They’ll get in relationships that they know aren’t good for them, and that was kind of what this was about,” Rob also added. “It was more like an intervention between you and your friend, like, you’re sitting down with your friend and explaining to them how this person’s going to derail their life and they just don’t seem to care.”
