Counterfit Pennies formed in the winter of 2002 with just three members (Rob Clancy, bass/vocals, Mike Hoffner, guitar, and Sam Christie-Sgro, drums) but one year later Mike Shiels, guitar/vocals, joined the band. Since then, Counterfit Pennies have been all about two things, friendship and love for music. After having the same lineup for over 4 years, our friendships have grown immensely and we think it really shows in our writing and live performance. We write songs based off our what we feel and what we think sounds good to us. We don't limit ourselves to whatever the "scene" is going through. The most important thing that we always strive for is improvement. We are always learning new things, and hope hardwork and dedication will get us somewhere. We have released many home recorded cds and released two studio recorded EPs, and are currently working on a thrid. We try to play anywhere and everywhere, so if you want to see what we're all about, check us out at one of our shows.

Hey Everyone!
Just thought that we'd let you know what has been going on all summer with us. Basically what is happening is that we have been preparing to go into the studio sometime in the very near future to possibly record a single! What has been the hard part about this has been picking out what song we want to use out of the new stuff that we have, that no one has heard. So what happens is we write a bunch of songs, and then in the end we decide which one is the one that will work the best. Other than that we have played very few shows, but make sure you're there september 10th at the trocadero balcony! The new stuff is turning out great, our sound is better than ever, and in a while everyone will be able to hear what we've been up to! Stay safe.

hey everyone,
we were in the studio again today, working on our new ep, and it sounds exactly how we were hoping it would. we finished 3 out of five songs with lead vocals, we go in again sometime soon to finish up the rest of the leads, and all of the extras we need to do. the date for release is going to get pushed back again, because of the delays and waiting period we had to have in order to get back in the studio, so we're aiming for no later than early april release, we hope that it was worth everyones wait, because we all feel that this is the cd that is going to open the doors for better things.
