SECOND IN LINE
Second in Line are a Skate Punk band from the Thames Valley way (Newbury/Maidenhead/Basingstoke),
Often hard to compare to other bands but they would love to sound like a cross between Bad Religion and Snuff.
The current line up is one of the best received and since 2014 they have been working tirelessly to get back to the hectic touring schedules they had around 2008/9. They had a break and are ready to conquer the world.
They go way back, starting around 2002 and have had many a line up change, though Gareth and Mr.T are still founding members and yet to kill each other.
They have played some great gigs over the years, playing with: Anti-Flag, The Epoxies, Stiff Little Fingers, FULLCOUNT, Darko, Billy No Mates, The Filaments, Wonk Unit, Vice Squad, Anti-Vigilante, Spoilers and sooooo many more
Some songs are about movies, some are about having fun, some are more serious and some are just silly
3/4's of the band are also fully house trained, we just can't tell you which one isn't!
Book them and they will come!!!
