(there are 2 bands under this name: the french one and the american one (featuring Jason Lancaster and Lee Denham). Second Rate was formed in Besançon (France) in 1998 from the ashes of Gimp and Unduly. 5 years, they will excite the crowds and get a reputation in the indie with their "emo-punk-melo-pop-core" worthy of the best of Samiam and Sixpack. With a top-notch expertise, an innate sense of melody and fiery live performances, they will write one of the finest pages in the history of French rock'n'roll. Intimate, cynical songs against a backdrop of heavy guitar rock lovers of beautiful melodies in arpeggios. The group stops at the end of 2003. Line-up: Sylvain (V / D) + Sam (G) + Jon (G) + Tyco (B-98/00) + Lutin (B-00/02) + Fred (B-02/03).
