Nitro Records today confirmed the signing of Chicago's Much The Same. The band previously released Quitters Never Win on A-F. The label describes the band as "a Midwest flavor to the West Coast tradition of melodic, punk rock along the lines of bands like Bad Religion and No Use For A Name."

The band plans to enter the studio in February to begin work on the follow up, Survive with a release expected in the summer.

Some demo material for the album can be found on their myspace page.
