Description
One of Maine’s earliest punk bands, The Same Band of Brunswick, held a mirror to society. They commented on social justice and environmental topics—but typical of punk music, they did so with satire.
In 1978, The Same Band opened for New York punk legends, The Ramones, at Portland's The Loft.
Most Same Band band members performed with stage names like Dual Space Organs (John Etnier), Swill Hovel (Mike Laskey), Bartholomew Rex Gross (Bart Gross), Wild Barbed Needle (Joe Wainer), Crimp Eastland (Mike Guimond), Lucky Bangstick (Ozzy Gross), and Bolt Upright (Chris Michaud).
