2Cents is a fiery young four-piece from LA, gaining notoriety for their propensity to perform at maximum security youth institutions throughout California, Arizona, and Utah. Their philosophy is simple, according to lead singer and drummer Adam O'Rourke: "we are not here to preach, we are here to have a good time and put all of our passion and emotion into the music. If it wasn't for music, we don't know where we would be." Their sound has been labeled "metal with a punk heart". Produced by Matt Hyde (Sublime, Slayer, Sum 41).
