Biography:Second Shift's allure lies somewhere between the head-on collision of alternative and mainstream. Call and response melodies and a captivating, rapid-fire live set have earned them opening slots for high profile shows. Jet, The Vines, The Living End, Weezer, The Bravery, OK GO, The Dead 60's, Hot Hot Heat, Louis XIV, Butch Walker, and Drivin 'N Cryin have all called on Second Shift to stir up the crowd with their frenetic, contagious sound and disarming stage presence.
Enter: Boozed and Bruised, the debut release from Second Shift, delivers straight ahead rock n' roll album- edgy and pop driven laced with the perfect amount of swagger and wit. Loaded with supercharged pop hooks, self-deprecating humor and honest escapism Boozed and Bruised showcases that indescribable nativity and constant uncertainty that is the life of a twenty-something.
With a motto of shut up and play and an explosive live show, it's apparent that Second Shift has come to conquer.

What the media + industry are saying about SECOND SHIFT::
"Hands down, the next big band to break out of Atlanta!" - Leslie Fram, Program Director of WNNX- 99X
"The first time I saw Jonathan Baker I immediately wanted to fuck him. er. I mean hes a star." Butch Walker, Producer / Performer / Guru
"The guitars ooze sleaze and dissipation without losing the pop appeal that bursts from these compact, hooky songs. Tunes like 'Power in Numbers' are clenched tight as a fist and carry the same hint of danger, but they're crisp and clean enough to be accessible. 'Art of Compromise' and 'Gun of a Son' call to mind the chunky pop of criminally under-appreciated Irish rockers Ash, and that's a wonderful thing. Bonus points for the kicky little stick figures in the booklet representing guest players such as ever-reliable producer Geoff Melkonian, Clay Cook and Mike Mantione." -Atlanta Journal Constitution on Boozed and Bruised
"The band demonstrated that, in addition to its solid rock riffs and stellar live show, it also possesses another element crucial in making the move from local to national act and that's radio-ready hooks that stick in your head long after the onslaught of rock has ceased." - AOL Cityguide
