Much the Same was a punk rock band from the suburbs of Chicago. Their style is based on the fast, melodic skate punk of the mid-to-late 1990s made popular by bands such as NOFX, Lagwagon, and No Use for a Name.

The band began in 1999 under the name "Don't Look Down" and changed to Much the Same in 2001 after a legal dispute with the now defunct New Jersey-based band who was also using the name. They released Quitters Never Win on A-F Records in 2003 and Survive in 2006.

The band announced their break-up on April 23, 2007.
