Music like a good fight

A Good Fight (commonly abbreviated AGF) is an American Rock Band from Fayetteville, Arkansas. The current members are Eddie Love, Rizz, Jon Woods, Eddie Mekelburg and Christian Sanchez. The band's first album, "The City Could Be Ours By Morning", was released in February, 2008. Their second album, "A Good Fight", was released May 1, 2010. The band is currently in the studio, recording their third release (their second full-length album), "The Kids Keep Asking for More".

Jon and his brother Dustin (stage name Rizz) founded A Good Fight in 2004. They secured the federal trademark of A Good Fight through the law offices of Asa Hutchinson, who is now the governor of Arkansas. Dustin came up with the name of the band one evening, but then he and Jon decided the band name would be final after reflecting on close friend, Tim Berry, who had died in 1994 at the age of 16 in a fatal car accident. The verse in the Bible from II Timothy 4:7, "I have fought the good fight", is a tribute to their friend. They then reached out to local and popular drummer, Sean Marriott of Hot Springs, Arkansas, who at the time resided in Fayetteville, Arkansas. After the three met, they agreed this would be an attempt to form a band with the goal of seeking national recognition. Their next focus was finding a lead singer. During this time, Jon ran successfully for state representative. Drummer Sean Marriott also was briefly married during this time to Juliet of Fayetteville, Arkansas. She is a good friend of Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day. Billy Joe wrote the song, "One for the Razorbacks", about her on the Kerplunk album ". The band had set high goals and they were in no hurry to settle for a singer. After a grueling two year period and over 30 auditions, the band agreed to add vocalist Eddie Love to the lineup in 2006.
