Album Notes

Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, Seconds to Breathe combines soaring vocals, powerful guitars, and driving rhythms to create music that is sincere, uplifting, powerful, and relevant to both the listeners and the band themselves. Influenced by such noted bands as Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, U2, Jeff Buckley, and Sunny Day Real Estate, Seconds to Breathe hits the ground running and will definitely be a band to watch in 2006 and beyond.

Seconds to Breathe consists of lead vocalist Hondo Valdez, guitarist Nate Heater, bassist/vocalist Cory Spotts, guitarist/vocalist Mark Morrell, and drummer Marty Welker. The band was originally founded in 2002 by Heater and Morrell, who were joined by Valdez shortly thereafter. After about two years of writing and lineup changes, the band welcomed bassist Cory Spotts and drummer Marty Welker into the fold, and the newly completed lineup commenced work on “Sirens,” the group’s debut full length album.

The debut CD “Sirens” is an 11-song journey that takes the listener through a huge range of human emotions and experiences, but focuses on a single recurring theme : hope. It is this theme of hope and the appreciation of life that inspired not only the name “Sirens” and the music contained within, but also the band’s name itself. Seconds to Breathe is currently focusing on playing and promoting the release of “Sirens” for this year and beyond, with plans to continue writing and evolving their craft well into the future.
