Thirteen Seconds was formed in late 2004 by founding members Adam Cabello and Terry Turner. Join by their brothers Nik on guitars and Thomas on drums, the band was rolling by Thanksgiving 2004. The band began practicing January 2005 join by Marcus Dunton on rhythm guitar. The band played their first show in June '05 and began what became a two year journey that took them through many lows and some marvelous highs. Their two year sprint including working with a RCA / Sony photographer, Winning their first round of battle of the bands at the Red Eyed Fly, Playing to their largest crowd at the finale, shooting a music video, having their song showcased on local radio, and playing a homegrown live show. But in January 2005 shortly after their homegrown live show, the band imploded. Many factors were to blame for the bands demise. None of which are important any more.
After a short break Terry Turner decided to reform Thirteen Seconds in the form he had originally pictured. Terry and Thomas are currently audition singers and guitarist and are working on the debut demo from the new Thirteen Seconds currently entitled 'American End Game' which they are hoping to release on July 4th 2007. This is the first salvo of attacks from Thirteen Seconds in the new American Revolution currently taking place. With the breathe of fresh air that has brought the band back they are currently working on what is being called the 'Great American Wake-Up'. With the likes of Steve Jones, Alex Jones, Charlie Sheen, Thirteen Seconds has joined a growing movement that has debunked 9-11, debunked the lies of the North American Union, and working to uncloak the New World Orders plans for the future. Our country is under attack by forces not from outside but within our own government. And the time to act is now, the internet is the weapon because the new American revolution won't be fought with muskets. This is a different type of battle, this is a media war, an Infowar (www.infowars.com). Thirteen Seconds message is quite simple, it is a wake-up call. Open your eyes, read, learn and spread the message. This is a battle not only for the independence of our country but our personal independence, our personal freedom, and our free will. The new American Revolution begins July 4th 2007 are you awake yet?
