MUCH THE SAME (Chicago, IL USA) - Everything Is Fine (new LP copy; not sealed) (2019) Released by Lockjaw Records & Thousand Islands Records on Transparent Beer w/Cherry Cola Splatter vinyl.
The album is a blast, front to back, up and down. Great Melodic Punk Rock, mixed with thoughtful lyrics and catchy choruses. The band has put their all into each song, so much so that it’s difficult to pick a “best” track as Everything is Fine is a blistering 9 song effort with plenty to enjoy from each of them.
It’s clear that MUCH THE SAME is happy to be back. Back making music, 
back playing shows, back doing something they love. Band reunions seem 
to be a dime a dozen these days, and reunion records can be spotty at 
best. 
We’ve all heard some of the bad ones; they can be a downer. 
Everything is Fine is not that downer record.  It’s an extremely 
satisfying comeback for a band who deserve a proper comeback. You love 
to see it.
