Second Hand Rock Songs

Second Hand Rock Songs is a song by Alternative Rock band, Fathers of Fury. It is the second single from their debut album. The song got a high of 12 in the Top 20 Weekly Airplay Chart.
===Writing and Recording===
Second Hand Rock Songs was written as a tribute to all rock songs. Jack had been listening to some music and realised that so many songs get covered over and over again - Teenage Kicks being a prime example of this. The song just sort of came to him, and he wrote it on the paper. The recording was done in London, and it took the boys several days before they got it done. This time they had no helpers in for the recording.
===Release and Reception===
Second Hand Rock Songs was released on the 7th of November. The release went quite smoothly, with the fans all flocking to buy the next instalment of the Fathers of Fury music. It wasn't an incredibly high profile release with only one interview before it came out.
===Track Listing and Descriptions===
====Second Hand Rock Songs====
This Second Single from Fathers of Fury’s debut album is based around the idea that so many songs are ‘second hand’; this idea comes from how all bands are influenced by another bands style and that the music that they play is like a redone version of a song from their influence. The song starts with Jack Straw singing without any music. Then Isaac starts playing the rhythm guitar in the background, this starts to build up the track. Then the chorus kicks in and the drums and other two guitars start playing. In the following verses the drum beat is a quiet, yet excitable beat, which gets you ready for the chorus again. Song was written by Jack Straw
====Mighty Ambitions====
This song is about how you have to aspire for something in order to get somewhere. Without any inspiration life is pointless, as you end up in a mess and going nowhere. Working for something a lot bigger than you may be able to achieve is better than not working for anything at all. This song starts with the symbols being repetitively tapped until one big strike of the guitar. This then sends the drums into an upbeat rhythm which is joined by the rhythm and bass guitars. Jack Straw’s vocals then power through just before a massive guitar riff by Ollie King. The chorus is basically Jack Straw singing the words mighty ambitions twice over an intense lead guitar. Song was written by Jack Straw.
