- Release Notes -
Second Base is a ferocious punk-rock foursome hailing from Aarschot, Belgium.
They've been in the business of singing and playing their hearts out for
about five years now, which is the equivalent of approximately 300 shows
including multiple tours to Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the south of
France, and the U.K.
The best description of their music I can give is melodic and emotional
punkrock. Now, don't expect some tight-tshirt-wearing metrosexuals using
their high pitched voices to either sing or scream about that girl that
didn't accept them on myspace. Second Base is a much needed refreshment from
those bands, combining the technicality of Belvedere with the harshness of
NOFX and the deeper thoughts of Rival Schools. When they play, you can just
tell they're for real.
The band had the honour to support some great bands in Belgium (amongst
others Strike Anywhere, Useless I.D., The Loved Ones, Ignite, Belvedere,
Satanic Surfers, Less Than Jake, Guttermouth,...) and to play some of the
biggest stages to be seen in Belgium, including the prestigious Maanrock
where they did their thing in front of 15.000 people. Suffice to say, they
enjoyed every second of their punk-rock lives so far.
Second Base started out in 2003, recording a demo only a few weeks after the
first rehearsals. It had its flaws, but 250 copies sold out fairly quick.
2004 came with a Split release on the Belgian Burned Star Records the other
band on the record being Old Fashion Heroes, whose bassist Sam would join
Second Base in 2007 after the demise of the former band. 2006 brought the
band's debut full-length album: The Risk To Lose It All, released on Burned
Star Records and distributed by Belgium's finest, Funtime Records. Both the
split-cd and full-length are now sold out.
In October 2007, the trio released an E.P. titled Recover with their newly
recruited bassist Sam on Kickass/Burned Star Records. The band went all the
way to Portugal to record with Miguel Marquez, from Easyway fame. 2010 marked
the release of their second full-length album Manifesto, which once again
marked a musical milestone. Shortly after the release, guitarist Fred
(ex-Facefirst) joined Second Base. As a foursome, the band will keep on
giving both the audience and the songs the passionate live treatment they
deserve.
