About Me

NOTE: WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING FRIEND REQUESTS FROM THIS ACCOUNT & IT WILL RARELY BE CHECKED. FOR INFO ON US, WHAT WE'RE UP TO, SHOWS, ETC, GO TO THE FOR SAKE OF FORWARD MYSPACE PAGE & ADD US.
Almost Better is a four piece pop punk / rock band from Central New York. Their varied influences, ranging from pop punk to classic rock to hardcore and metal, contribute to an indiscriminate sound. The band cites their greatest influences as Blink-182, Green Day, Weezer, and bands from the alternative/grunge era. The four members hope to create a desirable alternative to what is currently being heard today, and stay true to what music has always been about, while trying to stay afloat in this vast scene.
Now after some much needed time off Almost Better is back in a new form. Planning to hit the scene once again with the same passion, force & fury as they did once before you can expect performances starting in the near future. Please help welcome back the rock. We are For Sake of Forward .
