For What It's Worth

FULL LENGTH CD OUT SOON!

About Me

When a band like For What It's Worth lands on the scene, you're glad to know these bands still exist. With a DIY attitude, they work hard to pay their dues. When you go to a FWIW show, it's refreshing to see a band that just wants to have fun and get their music out to as many people as possible without caring about the latest fashion or how much eyeliner the guys are wearing. This three piece band plays fast, melodic punk rock in the vein of ALL/Decendents and Face To Face and sometimes strays to the sarcastic and dark lyrics that bring to mind older Alkaline Trio........................................................ ............................................................ .......................................

Influences:"For What It's Worth is influenced by friends, foes, empty bottles and heartache. ...songs that are destined to be on mixtapes meant for hooking up AND breaking up. Sounds like a romantic, angry deathwish soaked in sarcasm and cheap beer. For fans of Face To Face, Pinhead Circus, Tilt, The Muffs, early Alkaline Trio..."
