This Moment

Delivering crushing metalcore that even now offers a confident lyrical message regardless of the sledgehammer effect from the music, This Second hail from Ventura, CA, where in fact the music group was shaped in 2001 by guitarist Matt Lafferty shortly after he graduated from senior high school. Lafferty, an avowed Christian, continues to be the sole continuous with the group’s background, composing the lion’s talk about from the group’s tracks and self-releasing the group’s 1st two EP’s, 2001’s The Record of Existence and 2002’s This Second. In 2004, This Second found a champ in maker Paul Miner, who got caused musically likeminded works such as for example Thrice, Loss of life by Stereo system, and Atreyu. Impressed using the group’s power, Miner got the then-current lineup of the Second — Lafferty, vocalist Kyle Laughlin, bassist Sean Dougherty, and drummer Nate Freedman — in to the studio room and helped them art their full-length debut, Getting a Voice at night. The outcomes impressed the self-employed Uprising Information label, which authorized This Second and released the recording in the summertime of 2005. Intensive touring adopted, as an starting act for larger names such as for example My Chemical Love and Killradio in addition to playing smaller locations like a headliner. Once the music group returned towards the studio room with Miner within the springtime of 2006 to record its second long-player, Lafferty and Freedman had been the only real holdovers from Getting a Voice at night.
