oo 04/04/08 - BREAKING NEWS: We have decided to call a day to the punk rock show boat that has been SECOND IN LINE. There has not been a falling out or anything like "musical differences" it's just things have moved on in our lives and the band has had to take a back seat. So it's all come to a head and we've had to make the decision. We are playing two more shows (5th April in London supporting Billy No Mates and 11th April in Basingstoke) and we are going to announce one final gig in Reading, we'll get the date for that soon and we'll post it up here with all the details. We're going to have a real blast of a send off + have some amazing ideas for the final gig. With regards to new projects, Dan and Chris are forming a new band called "One For The Ditch" - so keep a look out for them. Gareth is still a Vodaclone (ha ha ha, sorry dude!) and I (Mr. T) am mulling over a few potential projects that have presented themselves to me. I'm also going to be concentrating more on my zine "Lights Go Out" (Issue 2 is in the making now!). Stay tuned for more info on the final gig, new projects and the zine!

We wanna say thanks to every single band we played with, every promoter/venue that put us on, anyone who came out to see us, bought some merch & did anything at all to help us. We love you loads, we've had a great six years and played over 150 gigs, which was a pretty good run. So thanks everyone + please try and make it down to one of the last few shows! Cheers.

oo 05/03/08 - We're playing Slough on Sunday, come along. Small updates today on the gig and shop page, The Live Album is out - so get hold ot it now. It'll also be available in Borders, Newbury pretty soon as well, so grab copies from there too. Loads of stuff in the pipeline right now, so keep a check on the page for updates as they come in! Cheers.

oo 24/02/08 - Well yesterday was a knackering day for the band. After the performance at the Face Bar in Reading in the early evening then saw the boys fill in last minute at the Rising Sun pub in Reading. Unfortunately though Gareth couldn't play the second show, so the others played a rather interesting set as a three piece! Also big shout out to Children Of The Cleg for coming down and rocking it as well! Next show up is in Slough...unless there is another last minute call...

oo 15/02/08 - Tomorrow is a big day for Second In Line. Dan's beloved Bristol Rovers take on Chris and his Southampton boys. The rivalry is pretty itense and it's even been featured in The Bristol Evening Post who ran a small piece on it - click below to check it out!

We've updated the gigs page with a few of the confirmed upcoming shows. Our next show is on Feb 23rd at the Face Bar in Reading - we're on stage quite early (around 6pm) - we'll get the flier uploaded as soon as we can and also some older fliers will be added soon, and some new pictures and loads more. We're busy booking up shows. The live CD is out now, just £3 from us at shows or £4 posted in the UK. E-mail us to order. Don't forget Mr. T has his new zine out called "Lights Go Out" - check the Myspace page out and add the zine. More importantly order a copy - £1.50 posted in the UK or £1 at gigs.

 

oo 12/02/08 - We are officially back! We made our live debut Saturday just gone - thanks to everyone who made it down to see Sarah Jane Honeywell make her debut with us. She did an awesome job and we loved every minute of her joining us on stage. Big shouts out to Diatribe and Rage DC who supported us on the night. We have loads of shows in the pipeline, some confirmed - we'll get the gig page updated soon, so for now keep an eye on our Myspace page for current gig dates. Our live album is out now so order it! Mr. T has his new zine due out this week as well called Lights Go Out - we're all looking forward to that.

oo 23/01/08 - Sorry there's been no updates, we couldn't access the site for a while, loads of stuff to tell you all about. We have new songs, new press coverage, new gigs and more. But the main news is that we're supporting Billy No Mates in London in April! Get in! We grew up listening to Snuff and the chance to support Billy No Mates is awesome for us, we really can't wait. Don't forget the "comeback" show in Reading on Feb 9th, it's going to be a blast, we can't wait to get back playing shows again. Also Mr. T has put together a zine called "Lights Go Out" which should hopefully be avail from the Reading show. The live album will also be available at the Reading show, which is the official launch night. We'll update this with more info and stuff as soon as we can, the Reading flier and some great zine coverage, but for now take it easy everyone.

Bad news is that the promoter had a couple of bands drop out tomorrow night in Northampton so the show has been cancelled unfortunately. Shitty news.

But this means we're gonna have to do it all again on July 22nd - so do please come down and shout at us and get yourself on our live CD. In other news a few more shows have been confirmed, so check out the gigs page. We're in Slough tomorrow night and Windsor on Saturday, both shows are free entry so please try and make it along.

It's a complete d.i.y. deal and features some amazing underground bands, close friends and we let The Stats on there as well.

We're also gonna be on a few compilations coming out in the next few weeks/months hopefully. The first of these is a promo CD to accompany Issue 3 of local music zine Go Gibbon Go.
