They formed one summer when local singer/songwriter John Disalvo (aka The John) put together a one-day-only band for a music festival in 2008. They introduced themselves to each other on that stage and played what they thought would dissipate immediately. However, they have played consistently ever since around the tri-state area everywhere from coffee shops and restaurants to bars and venues.
Over the past year The Seconds have been featured at NYC'S Webster hall, and their blue collar anthem "Garbage man" has been played on NYC radio station WRXP as well as their Anti-folk inspired single "Spring Forward." Both songs are on their recently released LP "Slip Away," now available on iTunes and CDBaby.

The Seconds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey man, I hope that's cool.
Hey man, I'm gonna lose my mind
Every single time I find your sister,
Suntannin by the pool.
hey man, I wanna see her naked (yeah yeah yeah)
Hey man, I'm always in her room
Goin through her underwear
And hey man, I gotta see her soon.
hey man, I wanna get her pregnant (yeah yeah yeah)
Hey man, how can I resist her (resist her)
The day I give her a wedding band,
Are you gonna be my best man?
And hey man, I kinda like your sister
I kinda like your sister
I kinda like your sister
I kinda like her!
The Seconds' song "Sister" is a controversial and provocative tune that delves into the boundaries of socially acceptable behavior. The singer in the song admits to having feelings for his friend's sister and expresses them in some shocking ways. The lyrics reveal his intentions to see her naked, going through her underwear, and even impregnating her. Despite this, the singer seems to be somewhat aware of the taboo aspect of his desires by asking his friend if it's cool that he likes his sister.
On a deeper level, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on societal norms regarding sexuality and the idea of ownership over women's bodies. The singer is not only attracted to his friend's sister but also seems to believe that he has some sort of claim over her. He asks his friend if he'll be his best man at the wedding, as if assuming that the sister will want to marry him. The song sheds light on the toxic and possessive nature that some individuals have towards those they're attracted to.
Overall, the song is a bold statement about the complexities of desire, societal expectations, and the repercussions of inappropriate behavior. It's a reminder that consent, respect, and maturity are crucial components of any healthy relationship.
