''My Two Cents'' was a hardcore punk band put together in 2001 by school friends [[Luke McPake]] (guitar, vocals) and Daniel (bass) - both had been members of hardcore project [[Blazon]] from 2000-2001.  Luke had also played with [[Thrifty]], and Daniel had previously played with straightedge metal band [[Arkane]].  [[Joe Hitchcock]] (formerly of [[Atomic Garage]]) was added on guitar, and [[Jono Gemmel]] from [[Mullet Patrol]] became the drummer.  

Co-founder Daniel later left to be replaced briefly on bass by [[Mark Newbold]] (of [[Vargas]], [[Shinkasta]] and [[Daredevil]]), then Jody Stowers, and finally by [[Steve Uren]].  My Two Cents gigged with some of the aforementioned bands as well as ''Kitsch'', [[Misled by Lies]], [[The Red Shift]] and [[Holdfast]] among others, played in the [[Band Experiments 2001]], and big national punk events like ''Punkfest 2001'' and the ''Punk As 1st Birthday'' in Wellington.  In 2001 they had two tracks on the [[Against the Wall]] compilation.  They broke up in 2002 and released their EP [[Paint The View From Yesterday]] a short time afterwards. ''Memories'' from this EP was released on a 2005 compilation titled [[Underground Resistance]].

''My Two Cents'' can be heard faintly on the outro of the [[luna spark]] track ''Rachmaninov'', as they were practising a few rooms down the hall at the time of recording.

Luke McPake and Steve Uren went on to form [[This Night Creeps]], and were later joined by Jono Gemmel in 2006. Jody Stowers plays in [[48 May]],
