Yellow Second was a melodic power pop band from Denver, Colorado formed in 1999 by Scott Kerr and Andrew Verdecchio, both former members of the Christian ska band Five Iron Frenzy. In late 2005, Yellow Second's disbandment was announced via the official Myspace account, as well as the official website; the latter of which, after having been offline for some time, now redirects to the former.
During their six year stint, the band released three albums, June One, Still Small, and Altitude (See: Discography). Additionally, several completed, though commercially-unreleased tracks (referred to as "B-sides"), were made available for download on the band's official Website. These tracks were entitled Waiting For No One, Velocity, Everything is Changing, and Return Receipt Requested.
Despite Yellow Second's common inclusion among Christian music genres, the band's lyrics are primarily secular with incidental references to God and prayer, while some lyrics are clearly critical of organized religion [1]. Scott Kerr, Yellow Second's foreman, claimed that his goal in the formation of the band was "writing good songs which are musically interesting but also accessible". [2] Other themes include personal failings, romance, and allusions to the writing process.
