Album Notes

Formed in 2004, in Jacksonville from the ashes of other bands in the local scene, Doesitmatter combines technical, aggressive-yet-melodic hardcore punk with metal influences to produce a powerful sound that sounds more like the SoCal punk of the mid-90’s than the emo and softcore proliferating the airwaves today.

Over the past 5 years, Doesitmatter has stuck to the DIY ethic of punk, and taken it upon itself to take the Jacksonville punk scene off of life support and cultivated a strong following around the beaches, where they frequently play Freebird, the Ocean Club, and Landshark, and have begun to expand their reach beyond Jacksonville, to Daytona, Orlando, and Gainseville.
