Formed in the early 1990s, the group has built a solid following through their introspective lyrics, captivating melodies, and a style that defies easy categorization. The early days of the band were marked by a more punk and grunge-influenced sound, but as they evolved, their music took on a more melodic and experimental rock approach.

Over the years, Penniless has released a prolific stream of albums and singles, consistently showcasing their ability to innovate and remain relevant in the ever-changing music landscape. Their most recent releases, such as "44," "The Ones Behind the Lobotomy," and "Actor," continue to demonstrate the band's ability to craft poetic narratives within their songs, often exploring themes of existential dread, personal struggle, and commentary on society. Songs like "Anthem for the Suckers" and "The Great Marquis" also display their penchant for ironic and evocative titles. With this latest string of releases, including the contemplative "Rows of Houses" and the urgent "Panic (Radio Edit)," Penniless reaffirms their status as enduring icons in the alternative rock scene, weaving complex emotions and stories into their music, much to the delight of their loyal fan base.
