Second Nature Recordings was founded in 1995 somewhat unintentionally while putting together the A Document of Nothing compilation as a companion disc for Second Nature Zine, when an opportunity arose to release an EP by Coalesce. Rooted in Kansas City and focusing on many bands from the thriving Kansas City music scene such as Coalesce, The Casket Lottery, In The Pines, Kill Creek, Reggie in the Full Effect, Old Canes, Vedera, The Belles, The Higher Burning Fire, Elevator Division and Ad Astra Per Aspera, relationships were quickly made with other artists while traveling with Coalesce and Second Nature would see releases over the years from Isis, Grade, Sharks Keep Moving, Waxwing, These Arms Are Snakes, Kid Kilowatt, Rocky Votolato, ILYA, The Blood Brothers, Krakatoa, Eulcid, Anasarca, Small Brown Bike, Able Baker Fox, Ox, Blusom, Jaguar Love and more. A decade and a half later, the simple notion of releasing music for friends remains the driving force of the label.
