Band Biography | |
Second Chance was born out of the heart of a man who had always wanted to be a rock and roll singer, Michael Benda. He had believed that somehow, something great was going to happen, and 20 years later, it did. It began in Feb 2000 one evening while Alex was waiting for Worship team practice Mike played a CD of a Christian rock group, Alex Jammed along to it, and that very evening, Second Chance was born. | |
It was a week before these 2 guys would get together and write what would be the first song ever written for this band and it was at this meeting that Mike finally felt like he was being given that Second Chance to live his dream. The song would go on to be a hit in the local area, a soft ballad we know as "You were there". It was followed rapidly by "Here I'm Standing" a rock worship tune in the vein of Kansas and Lynyrd Skynyrd. | |
It took about 2 weeks before Jeff was added on Drums and on a Sunday morning in early march, We added Derrick and Jamie to complete our quintet. A series of disappointments yielded no Bass player, and the quest continues. For the recordings, Alex plays, Bass, Keys, Synth, and Guitars. | |
The Group has had the pleasure of working with local Enid Churches a few times to bring their original sound, Alternative Blues Rock as they coined it, to Young people. Youth America has had Second Chance play in the local Enid area to spark a fire for Godliness, Hope, and Purpose in the hearts of these young people. We even had the pleasure of doing some improvisational Rapcore with Rev. Elijah, a master of the modern Fable. | |
So now, in Early May, Second Chance finds itself on the brink of huge success, looking for a performance bass player and keyboard player. They will be cutting their first Demo in Mid May at a fantastic Studio in Enid. The decision to sign in June to a small label in Texas will be made. Touring in the local area will resume in late summer, we look forward to bringing our cutting edge guitar work with edgy vocals, and words that melt the heart to Oklahoma and the surrounding states. | |
Watch for Second Chance on local radio, and in the news. We aim to take the industry by storm to bring God glory, and to show Generation Next that Christians can ROCK THE HOUSE!!! C'Mon, Yeah!!!! | |
