For What It’s Worth

THIS VICIOUS CIRCLE...OUT IN NOVEMBER 2008

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 , The Gits, Tilt.
Recent accomplishments include being voted Best Live Act in the 2007 Motif Music Awards and Jenn was nominated as Best Female Vocals that same year. The following year brought the band two more nominations in the same publication; Best Breakthru Act and Best Female Vocals.
FWIW has been invited to play events for Percent Clothing, Providence Roller Derby, The Goddess Show (a celebration of women in music) as well as the Newbury Comics 30th Anniversary Instore party. For What It's Worth has also been featured on several compilation CDs including RI Rejects Vol 1 on Reject Records and Barfights and Broken Hearts (PRR Music). 24 Song CD to be released this Fall, titled, This Vicious Circle.
