I Guess So is an alternative rock band based in Chicago, formed by two longtime friends who started playing together in high school. Known for their self-described “normalness” and rejection of mainstream trends, the band blends influences from punk, garage rock, and humor-infused parodies.
Their music catalog includes:
– Drain (2024 Single)
– Dear Sputnik EP
– Up All Night (Insomniac) Single
– Oatmeal (I Wouldn’t Miss You) Single
– We Don’t Care EP
The band frequently performs acoustic sets at Chicago venues like Four Treys Tavern and Uncommon Ground Lakeview, featuring original tracks such as Up All Night and Parade, alongside parody covers of songs like Alkaline Trio’s Radio retitled as Breaking. They made their radio debut in April 2024 on 88.3 WHCM.
Drawing inspiration from Jack White, blink-182, and Green Day, their sound combines gritty guitar riffs with witty lyrics. The band humorously describes their approach as “fresh to death – stay hungry,” emphasizing energetic performances over polished production.
While maintaining a DIY ethos, I Guess So continues to release new music and engage fans through intimate live shows, embodying their motto of staying “hungry” in the Chicago music scene.
