2Cents was formed by brothers, Adam and Dave O’Rourke who shared a mutual love of metal bands like Pantera and Slayer as well as Southern California punk bands such as Pennywise and Black Flag. The band released their first album Victims Of Pop Culture on Centsless Records in 2003.[2]
The band first gained national attention with the release of Lost At Sea on Gotizm/Atlantic Records in the summer of 2006. The record, produced by veteran producer Matt Hyde, received positive reviews from the metal community but little promotion from the label. The band took matters into their own hands, embarking on a grueling tour schedule for over two years which found 2Cents appearing at festivals such as Rock on the Range and the HFStival with some of the biggest names in the metal and rock world. They also appeared on major package tours like Sounds of the Underground and gained attention by performing at several maximum security youth facilities.
In 2009, the band returned to the studio with Matt Hyde and signed with Eight O Five Records, releasing Dress To Kill digitally on December 1, 2009. The record was released physically in January 2010. In the fall of 2009, to support the new record, 2cents joined the “Shock and Raw” tour.[3] In the spring of 2010, 2Cents opened on Korn's Jägermeister Tour.[1] In the fall of 2010, they opened on Zakk Wylde's Black Label Berzerkus tour.[4]
Despite teasing "new songs on their way soon" in 2011 on the band's Facebook page,[5] Adam O'Rourke announced in January 2013 that the band is entering an indefinite hiatus due to "an injury I sustained to my voice."[6]
