About Me

Second Storey Ruin are a Rock band from Reading, Berks, UK. The band were formed in early 2007 when Steve Smith left his old punk-rock band and started concentrating on his own material.
In late Jan 2007 Steve met up with Jack Painting, a drummer from Brighton that was currently studying at Reading University they went to there first practise with Ben Head a bassist from Maidenhead the band rehearsed for a month or so with another guitarist and started recording some material, it was then the band realised they had something special.
Towards September 2007 the band went through a line-up change, Ben moved to lead guitar and Martin Wiggall moved in on bass as the band said goodbye to thier former guitarist.
The band continued to rehearse and write material and it was clear they had established a strong line-up and went on to get Radio play and winning various demo panels and gigging all over England.
As for the future the band are set to record a new album, play a few festivals and October / November the band will play there 1st FULL UK TOUR with Bitter Conflict at such Venues as Barfly Camden & Glasgow, Brighton Concorde, Turnbridge Wells Forum, LISTEN OUT FOR A TOUR LIST IN JUNE08!BUY ALL S.S.R.
