The Second Hand Marching Band - A Dance to Half Death


A pal of mine from Glasgow turned me on to the amazing Scottish juggernaut The Second Hand Marching Band. I am ever so thankful. Their debut release is an amazing six song EP entitled A Dance to Half Death. At 22+ members, all playing only acoustic instruments and marching drums, they say they are relegated to practicing in open fields, parking lots, and back alleyways behind pubs. Though the accordions, ukuleles, saxophones, baritones, flutes, and other instrumentation is impressive, it is the sincerity and passion of the vocals that really makes this band shine. Take a few moments and look into The Second Hand Marching Band, you will be glad you did.
