Before the Bomb Drops
The album about the end of the world. What would you do if this was your last day on Earth? This album challenges you to question that answer among other things. Whether Second Hand King is searching for his own feet in the opening track, to questioning motives in "Cheap Love", to his dreams of being in a "Doo Wop Group" -- Before the Bomb Drops wants you to know "Nothing really matters" and that's okay.
This album while being humorous takes a dark turn in "About a Family Member Dying", then finishing the album off first the romantic "The End of the World" & the coming to terms in "Woke Up at 7".
Inspired by his Grandfather's death and how he dealt with it. Before the Bomb Drops wants to conquer death, and if not that -- conquer the anxiety that comes along with it.

Before The Bomb Drops is an album revolving all around the thought of a war gone on far too long and now it is too late to save. BTBD is an album that is tasked with finding joy and happiness with the world ending. Really though, it's an album about my Grandfather who passed away recently. The last of my grandparents. Although I never directly say it, the album is trying to deal with death and be happy with the life I have now. Along with other things I get into, it is more about trying to rid myself of the worries and help out the people too trying to death with the burden of these things. The album is about getting older and realizing you are not the person you thought you were. That life throws a million hurdles & all you can do is make peace with them all and try to overcome.
