Since forming in 1999, Pound For Pound from Springfield, IL have proven themselves to be one of the hardest working hardcore bands in the Midwest. Pound For Pound borrow elements of New York hardcore and metal while managing to create a unique sound of their own. Combined with bleak lyrics, the band's music provides an angst-filled soundtrack for the broken and the beaten. Performing frequent shows throughout the Midwest and touring often, the band continues to bring their music to new cities and audiences constantly while maintaining the support of current fans.

With the recent release of their second full-length album For Our Fallen Brothers on Surprise Attack Records, Pound For Pound are set to gain new levels of respect worldwide in the upcoming year. 2006 is already shaping up to be a great year for the band with east coast and west coast tours in the works as well as Pound For Pound's first European tour in the fall. Also planned for this year is the recording of the band's first 7", which like the new full-length album, will be released on Surprise Attack Records.
