01.13.08 - Happy New Year
We hope you all had a happy and safe new year. We will be keeping an online Recording Studio Journal, keep tabs of how we are doing in the studio with photos and video. As of now the only place you will be able to see it is on our Myspace page, so go check it out at www.myspace.com/secondchancela


11.27.07 - Recording Studio
We intered D.O.B. Sound Recording Studios in Glendale, CA with Derek O’ Brien. We spent a couple hours jamming the first 4-5 tunes that we will recording. The session was very good. At this point we had previously jammed three times together (with Derek on drums) and played two shows (not alot at all), but we are starting to get really tight as a unit and Derek has brought an amazing energy to the new songs. We will start to actually record this Wednesday. Really excited about this album.



11.14.07 - New Second Chance album!!!
We will FINALLY start recording our next album, the follow up to "Mama Tried" that was originally released on Middle Finger Records in 2003. As of now there is no title yet for the album.

We will have Derek O'Brien (Social Distortion/Adolescents) on drums kicking ass like he has done at the last few live shows.

Every album we've done has always been done in around 12 - 36 hours (thats extremely fast by most means)...this time we decided to try it a little different and work on 2 -4 songs at a time for however long it takes us to get the sound we want. So we expect the album to take us about 4 months or so. So the earliest we can expect to have a release date would be Summer of 2008. So you just gotta hang on a little longer.

We may still do that Acoustic EP we talked about for the last couple of years from here to there. Probably a Limited Edition run of about 500. We will keep you informed.

We will keep you updated on the progress of the album as we prepare to go at it again.

Mad Love,
Second Chance
