Details:
From the mainstream sea of same-old bands emerges 2nd HALF, a positively charged guitar rock two-piece out of Cleveland, Ohio. After growing up playing in bands with current members of ROADRUNNER RECORDS recording artist 'CHIMAIRA' and IMMORTAL RECORDS recording artist 'SW1TCHED', 2nd HALF began in 1997 to head down a different musical road than their former band mates. Now, having over six years experience with each other and having gone through several lineup iterations, 2nd HALF has found dedication in a two-piece that brings a new sound to the music scene of today.

The bands release entitled "NOW IT'S REAL" was produced by nationally renowned IMMORTAL recording artist BEN SCHIGEL of 'SW1TCHED'. This album displays their unique presentation of melodic aggressive harmonies over thick guitar riffs, funky bass lines, and tight drum beats which characterizes their music as 2nd HALF. The catchy lyrical hooks during the choruses also help further identify their sound. As far as live performances go, fans have literally been quoted as saying 2nd HALF shows are "amazing" and "unbelievable"--why? Because 2nd HALF is, not only the first two-piece to do so, but also the first band to incorporate video into the entire live shows. Any instrumentals/vocals that cannot be accomplished by the two playing live are supplied through the use of a computer, filling in any void that missing members may have created.

2nd HALF strives to create music that is enjoyable not only to themselves, but to a wide variety of listeners. Their music does not fall into any particular genre except their own, and does not target any particular age group. The goal of 2nd HALF seems clear--to send a positive message through music and to have fun doing it.
