Music is a source of life for the members of this Central New Jersey group called Sekond Skyn. It was perfect timing for former members of local act Backhand when they joined forces with charismatic front man Jon Follet, after the dissolve of his band Bind. They began performing as a 5-piece experimental hard rock band in late 2005.
They have collectively performed with such national acts as Korn, Deftones, Stone Sour, Flyleaf, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Atreyu, Bloodsimple, evanescence, Hell Yeah, Trivium, Machine Head, Nothing Face, Suicidal Tendencies, Sevendust, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Saliva, Lacuna Coil, Skidrow, Anthrax, Coal Chamber, Five Finger Death Punch, Sponge, Testament, The Vans Warped Tour and others.
Sekond Skyn quickly developed a thriving, loyal fan base with their aggressive and dynamic live performances. Their hard work and dedication led them to earn the title of the Wratfest Opening Act Band Search Winner in 2006 And 2007, outshining hundreds of bands 2 years in a row for the prize of opening the Family Values Tour with Korn. The contest's, which were hosted by major market radio station 95.9 WRAT, proved to be great accomplishments. It eventually led them to win the hearts and ears of the station's disc jockeys and they were rewarded with a prime-time interview, radio airplay and plenty of exposure.
When it came time to release their first full-length album "Let the Fire Burn" (mastered by Danny Schuler of Biohazard) in December 2006, 95.9 WRAT quickly agreed to host the major event which drew more than 400 fans to the famed Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Sekond Skyn has recently signed a contract with MTV/ Via-com so that MTV and MTV 2 can use the 2006 Release" Let The Fire Burn" on upcoming episodes of "Cribs, Juvies ,My Sweet Sixteen and others MTV and MTV 2 shows"
The powerful lyrics are executed with an expressive vocal performance. You can find an overwhelming diversity in the music with melody, aggression, anger and even some riffs with progressive Blues influences. It's an extraordinarily refreshing sound that is truly unclassified.

Thank you all for helping Wil out on Friday. We met each other in the music scene, so I guess it was only appropriate our engagement was during a show. And a great show it was! Thanks again. BTW - if anyone got video of the proposal - please have them send it my way. The person we were expecting it from ended up sending the wrong section of the video.
