Much the Same
Much the Same is a punk rock band from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, United States.
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 Do n't Look Down and changed to Much The Same in 2001 after a legal dispute with the now- defunct New Jersey band Do n't Look Down.

The band announced their break- up on April 23, 2007 following their first and only European tour.
They reunited for a final farewell performance on March 26, 2011 at Reggie's Rock Club in Chicago.

The group was founded by oud player Mehmet Cemal Yeşilçay( b. 1965) and psaltery player Mehmet İhsan Özer( b. 1961).
The name" Pera" comes from the old Greek name( literally" across") of the cosmopolitan Beyoğlu district on the European side of İstanbul, Turkey.

Their collaboration with Romanian- born German countertenor Valer Barna- Sabadus( b. 1986) won a special" Klassik Ohne Grenzen" prize at the German Echo Klassik Awards in 2012.
