Much the Same

The fast and melodic punk rock and roll sounds of Chicago’s Quite similar recall that of several of their influences, specifically mid-’90s skatepunk acts like Lagwagon, Simply no Use for any Name, and NOFX. Developing in 1999 beneath the initial name of Don’t Appear Down, the people played countless displays and experienced various lineup adjustments before switching with their current moniker in 2001, following a finding of another punk take action (and long term Nitro Information peer) from the same name. Liberating the EP Captured Off Safeguard on Tank Information that same 12 months, the guys later on documented a three-song demonstration, which got them authorized to Anti-Flag’s personal A-F Information. Vocalist/guitarist Gunner McGrath, guitarist Dan O’Gorman, bassist Franky Tsoukalas, and drummer Mook released their label debut, Quitters By no means Win, in Apr 2003. Very much touring ensued, and far the Same distributed stages with functions just like a Wilhelm Scream, Rise Against, Anti-Flag, and Break the Silence on the way. Jevin Kaye changed Mook on drums in 2004, as well as the music group took a rest from the street to begin focus on its follow-up. Conquering initial rounds of serious writer’s stop, McGrath and team got it collectively to record Survive, made by Cameron Webb (Sociable Distortion, Over It), for his or her new house at Nitro. The recording appeared in past due August 2006. McGrath produced his exit the next April, and even though Quite similar initially designed to continue with a fresh vocalist, they eventually cancelled their forthcoming tour times (because of van complications) and known as it each day under a week later.
