Last year, Massachusetts pop punks, Seconds To Stand, released 'Won't Be Around Forever', a six track EP brimming with fast-paced, melodic pop punk tracks. We asked them a few questions to get to know a bit more about them...
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Just north of Boston, MA USA.
HOW DID YOU GUYS FORM?
We all knew each other in high school, got together and jammed one day and it became a regular thing for us. We all played and enjoyed the same music and we all had fun playing writing and performing.
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR BAND NAME?

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR BAND NAME?
We came up with a metaphor of a boxing match that when life knocks you only have "Seconds to Stand" back up or you lose the match and when our lives brought us and our band similar situations we all choose to stand up and keep fighting rather than lose the match.
LAST YEAR YOU RELEASED 'WON'T BE AROUND FOREVER', WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SONG FROM IT AND WHY?
(Smitty) My personal favorite is the title track, it closes up the EP nicely and lyrically holds the most substance for me. The song is about making the most of the one life you have; not being afraid to do what makes you happy instead of what makes you money, because you won't be around forever. Make the most of your life and do what makes you happy, that's sort of what this band is all about.

FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD 'WON'T BE AROUND FOREVER', DESCRIBE IT IN FIVE WORDS...
Upbeat, positive, true, punk, rock
DO YOU PREFER RECORDING OR PLAYING LIVE?
Both are really fun but I think playing live is more fun for us, its more comfortable and there's room for improvisation. Its also fun seeing different crowds of people and playing for them, we get into it regardless.
