Chicago has been tops in churning out some of the best pop-laced, high octane punk rock bands for well over a decade. Since 1999, MUCH THE SAME have carried the torch of Windy City punk with their catchy hooks, assertive vocals, bold attitudes, and dynamic stage presences. MUCH THE SAME temper their precise songwriting talent and fresh, infectious melodies with plenty of oldschool power, creating a punk sound that intertwines traditional sensibilities with modern tendencies. Driven by their love of playing and their loyalty to their band and its music, MUCH THE SAME's potent work ethic has kept them on the road and in the clubs on a constant basis. Their shows have spanned the spectrum, from appearances in the most underground clubs to consecutive performances on The Warped tour.

Much The Same broke up in 2007 after their last release on Nitro.
