The Profile

Much The Same is an American punk rock band from Chicago known for fast, melodic skate punk. Formed in 1999, they released Quitters Never Win (2003) and Survive (2006), then reunited and returned with Everything Is Fine (2019).

From TSTW’s review: Survive (2006) is a fast, melodic Punk Rock/Skate Punk album from a Chicago band; 32 minutes, drum-led dynamics, balanced guitars, and consistently engaging flow.

One review praises Much The Same’s Survive (2006) for fast, melodic skate punk energy and tight balance between melody and tension. Drums drive the dynamics, guitars layer without overpowering, and the 32-minute album stays engaging throughout. The band is Chicago-based.
