Just Surrender is an American rock band from Dover Plains, New York, formerly known as A Second Chance,[5] formed by three high school friends: Jason Maffucci, Andy Meunier and Steve Miller.

[1] guitarist & vocalist Dan Simons says he was inspired by 70s and 80s bands such as Journey, Bon Jovi & Poison, Just Surrender's first compilation was a 4-song EP.

Many of the songs written for the EP were re-recorded for their first full album, If These Streets Could Talk, which was released by the EastWest Records subsidiary Broken English in 2005.

"[8] The critic, Christopher Felton described the album as "unfortunately nothing more than a half-decent attempt at copying the work of far more superior bands".

[9] The band quickly became popular on the music site PureVolume and received more than 400,000 plays in a matter of months.

[12] Just Surrender embarked on a Northeastern and Midwestern tour in January 2009 alongside Jesse Barrera of My American Heart, Patent Pending, Kelsey & the Chaos and Pull the Pin.

On December 19, it was reported that Just Surrender were writing material for a new album which would be self-released, and that Ryan Kienle, formerly of Matchbook Romance, was the band's new bass guitarist.

Simons said in a 2018 interview with American Slacker Podcast that the band had secretly gone into indefinite hiatus in 2013 but agreed that they would continue to write new material for the project while re-grouping.
