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".

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". 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.

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 ["Straw Man", June One"] . 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".

Reunion

"Yellow Second" played a reunion show on May 09, 2008 at the Hi-Dive in Denver, Colorado, performing alongside the musical acts "The Little Ones" and "Kissing Party".
