Lead singer and guitarist Chris “Gunner” McGrath, bassist Andy Simon, and drummer, Mike “Mook” Snoreck, began playing together in 1999. Shortly after, Adam Mufich took over bass duties as the band went on to play their first appearance on the Vans Warped Tour in Chicago in 2000. Simon briefly rejoined the band on guitar for later rejoined as a second guitarist in time to record the Caught Off Guard EP. Simon and Mufich left together and were replaced by Frank Tsoukalas on bass and Matt Haraburda on guitar. Dan O’Gorman replaced Haraburda six months later to finally create the first stable lineup in 2001 around the same time that the name changed to Much The Same, which acknowledged their similarity to many other popular punk bands of the time.
