On today's episode, I'm speaking with Frank and Dan from Chicago's skate punk band Much the Same.

Frank is a returning guest. We had so much fun chatting last year, that we decided to do it again. This time, we brought guitarist Dan into the conversation.

We talk all about their 2003 ripper of an album "Quitters Never Win". We discuss the early days of the band, making the album, the creative process, and even beating cancer and what it's like to live life urgently.

This is a great episode and I think you'll have fun listening.

Quitters Never Win is the first full-length studio album by Much the Same.

Much The Same is a punk rock band from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Their style is based on the fast, melodic skate punk of the mid-to-late 1990s made popular by bands such as NOFX, Lagwagon, and No Use for a Name.

The band began in 1999 under the name Don't Look Down and changed to Much the Same in 2001 after a legal dispute with the now-defunct New Jersey band Don't Look Down. They released Quitters Never Win on A-F Records in 2003 and Survive in 2006.
