    ........ .. ............ Glasgow experimental rock outfit Secondskin have existed in various forms for nearly a decade and their talent and unerring dedication to achieving exactly the sound they want is unparalleled. .... The music of Secondskin combines elements of modern metal, with 70s prog. Often compared to acts as diverse as Oceansize, Pink Floyd, Meshuggah, Tool, Earthtone9 and Porcupine Tree, Secondskin appeal to the thinking music lover. .... Captive Audience boasts Secondskin’s unique blend of progressive metal and hypnotising grooves, with what UKMetalUnderground.com describes as: “A powerful work that is both beautiful and unsettling all at once. The vast swathes of atmospheric guitars augmented with a judicious and convincing use of effects and the ultra-defined bass sound all meld seamlessly to offer a rich sonic tapestry that draws the listener in with a succession of seductive sounds and textures.” The band have also won the support of Terrorizer magazine, who featured the track “Spoonful of Sugar” on their fear candy unsigned (71) cover-mount CD. .... Secondskin also boast a mesmerising live show which has previously earned them support slots with the likes of shels*, Cult of Luna, Glassjaw, Stand-up Guy, yourcodenameis:milo, Mindless Self Indulgence, Black Sun, Throats and Breed77. ....

         Hey Eddie! Those comments were so long ago I'm sure you've forgotten all about us by now, but basically the band went on a really long break (while You Already Know was pretty busy) and I didn't log in for a looooooooong time! Thanks for the support though, glad you like the tunes :) I'll try and set up the songs as downloadable so you can grab them. We've got a new drummer now and should be getting the ball rolling again soon! Cheers! Keef

Glasgow experimental rock outfit Secondskin have existed in various forms for nearly a decade and their talent and unerring dedication to achieving exactly the sound they want is unparalleled.

The music of Secondskin combines elements of modern metal, with 70s prog. Often compared to acts as diverse as Oceansize, Pink Floyd, Meshuggah, Tool, Earthtone9 and Porcupine Tree, Secondskin appeal to the thinking music lover.

Captive Audience boasts Secondskin’s unique blend of progressive metal and hypnotising grooves, with what UKMetalUnderground.com describes as: “A powerful work that is both beautiful and unsettling all at once. The vast swathes of atmospheric guitars augmented with a judicious and convincing use of effects and the ultra-defined bass sound all meld seamlessly to offer a rich sonic tapestry that draws the listener in with a succession of seductive sounds and textures.” The band have also won the support of Terrorizer magazine, who featured the track “Spoonful of Sugar” on their fear candy unsigned (71) cover-mount CD.

Secondskin also boast a mesmerising live show which has previously earned them support slots with the likes of shels*, Cult of Luna, Glassjaw, Stand-up Guy, yourcodenameis:milo, Mindless Self Indulgence, Black Sun, Throats and Breed77.

The band are currently busy writing the follow up album to Captive Audience which aims to shape a new reference in the progressive metal landscape. br />
