It ain't just roots rock hanging around this winter.  SECOND COMING is still alive, having survived the grunge years, the implosion of their best buds at Capitol Records, and performing at Fenders Saturday.

To say Second Coming is just your average Joe rock band doesn't work.  As dark and thick as an oil spill, the Seattle-based band bangs out the kind of stomping, sweaty rock that's meant for guys who grew up on Alice in Chains but change the dial on Godsmack.  A melodic metallic coat of doom surrounds each song.  You can feel the blood oozing through your ears while Travis Bracht screams the virtues of pure rock fury.  I can never stand still before them.
