Second Player Score

Brian Tashima, guitarist and lead singer for the Vancouver/Portland-based rock trio Second Player Score, is a firm believer in the value of second chances. “The first time you do something – your first band, first kiss, whatever – it’s cool, because it’s fresh, new, exciting,” Tashima says. “But the next time around, you’ve learned from your mistakes, you’re more experienced. And it sort of validates you, because now you can say that you’ve done it again — it wasn’t a one-off kind of thing.”
