Did you grow up on a NOFX diet? Had a crossbuster patch on your backpack in highschool? Made out with Blink on the background? Listened ro Rival Schools when she broke your heart? Well, so did Stijn, Jef and Sam.
Taking the best bits from the early Epitaph catalog and blending it with Propagandhi-esque tempo switches, they bring back the sometimes emotional, often raging, always passionate melodic punkrock we seem to have lost to little-sister-pants/youth-sized-shirt wearing metrosexuals these last years.
Releasing a self-titled demo (recorded by Bob Demarsin at Bob’s place), a split-cd with labelmates Old Fashion Heroes and theit debut full-length The Risk To Lose It All (both produced and recorded by Patrick Delabie at Studio 195 and released by Burned Star Records) they’ve become a household name in Belgian punkrock.
Second Base however is more than a great studio band. Playing both support slots for bands like Belvedere, Useless I.D., Ignite, Strike Anywhere, The Loved Ones, Easyway and No Children and often headlining numerous local shows have proven that a stage (or lack thereof) is where they feel at home.

These previous experiences laid the foundations for a whole bunch of new songs, some already pre-recorded, most of them being put on tape in November 2007 by Miguel Marques of Easyway fame. Not pushed down by the talks behind their backs, you’ll be getting your Second Base fix with a split-cd on Kickass Records and a brand new album in early 2008.

Talking about Life, Love and Music; the ups and the downs, the hopes and regrets, this band will hit you in the face one moment and embrace you the next. This is punkrock, this is Second Base.
