BIOGRAPHY


ONE SECOND THOUGHT was formed in Queens, N.Y.C. the year 1994 by Shawn Gibbs and Eric Rockford. The band started by playing shows throughout the NY/NJ/CT area for about 2 years. They went through a few line-up changes and a 7" entitled ´Everyday Struggle` was released by NYHC-veteran Tommy Rat on Free Sprit Records in 1996. Next up was their demo´98 called ´Queens Style`. This demo release got great reviews, not only in U.S., but also overseas in Europe and Japan. Proving them as a leaders of the newer breed of NYHC and giving a taste of the talent and level of rawness they were ´bout to bring.

The band structure, however, was still evolving. Moving their second guitarist, at that time, Cory to drums and getting his place filled with a new guitarist Dan, were the final refinements that mastered the O.S.T.´s brand of infamous Queens style... Early 1999 O.S.T. had all set to record the debut full-length album ´Self Inflicted` on Cartel Records - The finest thug anthems in a  long, long time..


During the years they have been together, One Second Thought have regularly played for a great deal of shows in NYC and all over the East Coast with well-known bands such as Madball, Fury of V, All Out War, Breakdown, E-Town Concrete...And continue relentless touring to support the new release.

To all who put emphasis on ´hard` in hardcore One Second Thought got what you want. For proof check out the soundbites...they will provide all the evidence you need.
