Whatever--Fiery Punk Band from Cleveland Reformed for this Moment!!

Whatever stormed through the ‘90s and early 2000s with a relentless barrage of punk rock anthems fueled by disillusionment, isolation, and raw fury. Now, nearly 25 years later, original members Ben Wrecked (vocals/guitar)and Matt Fish (drums) are back, louder and sharper than ever, joined by Brett Moore (guitar) and Peter Woodward (bass/vocals) to resurrect one of the Midwest’s most fierce punk acts. Their latest album, Into Darker Days, marks the band’s first full-length release since 1997’s Youngsters (DSR 69), delivering 12 new tracks that hit with the same melodic urgency and unapologetic edge fans have always loved. Leaning into the existential unrest of today’s world, Whatever channels decades of frustration into a sound that’s both familiar and freshly ferocious. This isn’t a reunion. It’s a reckoning.Check this one out, and don't miss them on tour!September 18, 2025Marky Ramone plays the Ramones and Whatever...Beachland BallroomCleveland, OHhttps://app.opendate.io/e/marky-ramone-plays-the-ramones-september-19-2025-598040October 18, 2025Whatever... and The GluttonsFive O'Clock LoungeLakewood, OHOctober 22, 2025Decry, Whatever.., The Situations, and Future ConfusionThe RedwoodLos Angeles, CAOctober 23, 2025Rhythm Collision, Whatever..., For Closure, and The Heart RaceThe SardineSan Pedro, CAOctober 24, 2025Dr. Strange Records Freaky FridayThe Radolescents, The Bollweevils, Whatever..., Rhythm Collision, and The MaxiesThe GlasshousePomona, CAhttps://dice.fm/event/nvbgq9-dr-strange-37th-with-radolescents-the-bollweevils-24th-oct-the-glass-house-pomona-tickets?pid=a1331df1&_branch_match_id=1475983283770168345&utm_medium=partners_api&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8nMy9ZLyUxO1UvL1a9ITTI1TE02MTZLMbUvyEyxTTQ0NjZMSTNUqytKTUstKsrMS49PKsovL04tsg1OTEssygQAK4FHYkgAAAA%3DThis episode, like all episodes of If This Is True, brings forth what drives creatives to do what they do.
