Organisation: Band Profile

The band I will be using on my front cover is called “Second Passing”. They are a made up band consisting of 3 female artists. They include: Rachel Basset – Lead Singer, Jess Simmons - Bass and Guitar, and Ruby Oldwood – Drums.


Second Passing originates from Birmingham, UK and was founded by Rachel Basset, when they were in school. The band started out small doing shows for free but were soon spotted by Lab Records Limited who signed them and brought them to the attention of the alternative scene. From there, Second passing grew rapidly, producing their first album “Thoughts of a Full Moon” under Lab Records within a year of being signed, which sold over 5000 physical copies and over 50,000 Digital copies, including iTunes, Spotify and YouTube. Following the release of Thoughts of a Full Moon, Second Passing was invaded to support Neck Deep on their UK tour in the summer of 2013. A successful first album was followed by their self-titled second album under Hopeless Records in 2014, which brought them into the American Alternative scene. In 2015 they announced a hiatus to “focus on their band members and family” following their lead singer’s admission to a rehab centre.
