Containing members
Yanni "Johnny" Bacolas (bass), James Bergstrom (drums, percussion),
Dudley Taft (guitar, formerly of
Sweetwater), and
Travis Bracht (vocals/rhythm guitar, formerly of Peace and Silence), Seattle's
Second Coming have a sound similar at times to their metallic rainy-city ancestors (
Alice in Chains,
Soundgarden, et al.). Releasing a few independent releases before their self-titled debut for Capitol, the band embarked on a tour supporting
Monster Magnet prior to its release. Subsequently,
Eric Snyder replaced
Dudley Taft on guitar. The group continues to record and tour, as the self-explanatory
Acoustic was released in 2002, and
13 followed a year later. 2007 will see the release of the group's fifth release overall. ~ Greg Prato
