North Carolina pop-punk group The Second After catapult listeners into summer with their fast-paced new single “You’ll Never Make It (Like A Virus)” today.
Hinted at by the name, the song was written and recorded shortly before the pandemic as the news of COVID first started to rise in the media. It was a very intense experience for The Second After, being far away from home as the world and the pandemic approached, questioning the future of live music and their careers in music. The uncertainty and fear that lied within the beginnings of the pandemic is a topic the entire world is able to easily grasp, as we desperately tried to understand the significance oof this “new normal”.
“You’ll Never Make It (Like A Virus)” is a fast-paced single that features bold and bright guitars, displaying The Second After’s new skate-punk sound that follows their previous pop-punk template. Solid and melodic vocals backed by un-relenting drums bring forth a classic punk style that is reminiscent of raw early pop-punk.
The Second After is Michael Greason (vocals, guitar), Nolan Shambley (bass), and Ryan McDonald (drums). Produced by Seth Henderson/ ABG Studios.
