SECOND

SECOND is without doubt one of the most international sounding group that Spain has produced in the last 30 years. This was confirmed in November 2004 when they won the first prize in the GBOB Awards, held in the London Astoria.

But Second has not been an overnight success. It is a group that has gone through various stages - both in the musical and professional sense. Jose Angel Frutos (Vocals) and Jorge Guirao (Guitar) formed the group in 1997. After undergoing various changes, the line up is now a 5 piece band completed by – Javi Vox (Guitar, keyboards), Fran Guirao (Drums and Programming) and Nando Robles (Bass).

Their love of music, and dedication to their group is clearly obvious when you listen to any one of the songs, or if you are lucky enough to see them live. Their constant work in the rehearsal room leads to an incredible live show. Their capacity of transmitting different sensations and emotions on a stage is simply incredible!

In 2002 they meet the production team formed by Robbie France (Skunk Anansie, Alphaville, Diamond Head……) and Tim Oldfield. It is ‘love at first sight’ and they are instantly signed to their latest project – the record label ‘Pulpo Negro’.

They have since recorded a single, and their LP ‘Pose’, released in 2003. A national tour was soon organized, and Second were soon taking part in the best festivals in the Spanish national scene. Their videos ‘Behind the Pose’ and ‘Starglasses’ have had excellent rotation in specialised TV channels such as MTV, 40TV and SOL Musica.

Latest news is the new EP to be released in May, with new songs, and even some sung in Spanish!.
