Alrightey everyone!

Alright everyone! 

Hey everyone. As some of you may know we are about to release our E.P. "Prelude". It's been exactly two years since we released our last album "Threshold" and we're all very excited to let you see how far we've come as a band, as musicians, and as followers of Christ. We really appreciate all the support that you have given us over the years; From letting us destroy your homes when we stay the night to helping us out with a hot meal here and there. As of right now Second Thief is going to be playing shows in the southern region of the U.S. until the end of this year. We are looking to be touring at the begining of 2010 with a couple of really good bands. So be on the look out for those dates. We really hope you enjoy our new E.P. Which comes out on September 11th, 2009.

Thank you,
         ST

    Hey guys . We're making this blog for everyone that is going to attend our ep release show on October 2. We want to know what songs you want us to play that night. From godspeed to rosmarus. Which ever songs are posted the most on this blog are the ones that are going to be played. Make sure you put your favorite/ song you want to hear the most first and so on.



P.S.   We have some really good bands that are gonna be on this show. You do not want to miss this show!!!!

Second Thief are rockin' it out on the Lock n Load Tour as of late, but I encouarge all you myspace fans to check out their page right now! These dudes have a magnificent love for Jesus Christ, music, and Pokemon Silver. Here's the interview we conducted with them. 


1. How did Second Thief come together? Any relations from previous musical endeavors? 

The current lineup is not the original lineup for Second Thief, the only original member is our singer, Perry, and our bassist, Justin. Matthew and myself (Brandon) joined the band much later through various means. Matt is also the only one that has been in a band before Second Thief!


2. Second Thief’s music embraces hardcore-tinged metal with effective hooks, breakdowns, and melancholic moments. The Christian music industry sometimes struggles with the presence of metal. Still, some Christian’s call it the “Devil’s Music”. Does Second Thief get involved with this controversy? Why did you choose metal as a music tool for worship?

Here's a fun fact: The band actually didn't start as a metal band. I actually learned the other day that the band started out as rap-core! :) But speaking of the Christian controversy, here's a story. We are currently on tour, and at a show in Nebraska, we played a church festival with a mix of 55+ age people and 9-15 year old kids. We were very skeptical about the response to our music, but in the end, the show turned out great, although a good amount of the older crowd had left by our set time. The young kids were rockin' up there with us! I think that's about the same as the industry of Christian metal. It's becoming more and more accepted everyday, but We sometimes get flack for playing heavy music. However, as soon as they get to know us, they will see our hearts and that we have a heart for worship! Metal is just aggressive and passionate, the same way we feel about our God....

3. What is the meaning behind the name “Second Thief”?
When Christ was crucified on the cross, there were two thieves crucified on either side of him, the first thief cursed Jesus and denied he was God, the second repented and accepted Jesus' divinity. We are the second thief!

4. Name some of Second Thief’s musical influences. Any guilty listening pleasures (i.e. Family Force 5, Cobra Starship, Soulja Boy)?

Believe it or not, we don't listen to too much metal! My main influences are Rammstein, Skillet, and anything else I feel is rockin' at the time of writing!
Guilty pleasures? Anything happy-pappy techno like Basshunter, Alina, and Cascada. :)







5. Describe a typical Second Thief live show. Any signature moves or tactics on stage?
We just try to have a steady level of energy, and play well of course! I tell lame jokes.... We just have fun, whatever it takes!


6. What role has Jesus Christ played in Second Thief’s musical experience? 
He is everything...Everything we do is a legitimate attempt to reach every person that hears our music for Jesus Christ, whether that be from the lyrics, a live show, or this interview.


7. If Second Thief was stranded on an island for 365 days, name 3 absolute necessities that would be of everyday use on the island. 

1. Gameboy Color
2. Pokemon Silver
3. Walmart!


8. Are there any tours, EPs, LPs, or other exciting events on the horizon for this band?
We are right in the middle of the Locked & Loaded Tour right now, and when we get home, the next ep called "Prelude" will be released, with a string of CD release shows across the south. All details will be posted as we get them, but you can hear a song off of the ep on our myspace page!

9. Has Second Thief witnessed any spiritual miracles or religious conversions in the lives of fans, band mates, or otherwise?
When Perry was 7, his dog was crushed by a chair and his neck bone was poking from his neck. His parents rushed to lay hands on the dog and after prayer, Perry saw the neck bone retracting into the dogs body, and the dog started running around like nothing had happened.I'd say that's a miracle!


10. Any words of wisdom or advice for fans of Second Thief?

We love talking to everyone! Talk to us on aim whenever we're on... sn: secondthiefband. Stay updated on the release of the new ep, we can't wait to hear what you think! God bless you guys, we are grateful for you! Thanks for this interview!
