  • Bio

    ."With the dreaminess of Doves, the sonic guitar work of early Radiohead and the grandiosity of The Verve, Secret Broadcast combine the best of mid-'90s U.K. guitar pop bands without sounding derivative or, worse, unoriginal." - Brian Pascual, ChartAttack "The best thing to come out of Calgary since, well, ever, Secret Broadcast proves it's possible to make basic rock 'n' roll actually seem interesting. Imagine Radiohead if they'd formed in the early '80s, and you only start to get the idea." - The Georgia Straight "..atmospheric rock sound, anchored by big guitars and retro-ish synths. It's the kind of spiky pop with deep hooks that bands like Metric or the Stills trade in." - Tabassum Siddiqui, Spinner ".. shimmering guitar tones and minor-key chord shifts — the kind of sound you could easily picture filling an arena within a few years' time." - Peter Hemminger, FFWD "Secret Broadcast are a fantastic up-and-coming band with some great music". – Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of the Virgin Group Secret Broadcast is an Alt/Rock band from Calgary, AB. Canada. Since their formation in 2006 they have shared the stage with such acts as Metric, The Stills, Matthew Good, and Tokyo Police Club. They were invited to perform at both Calgary and Toronto Virgin Festival dates in 2008, main stage at Virgin Festival Calgary 2009, and have showcased at CMJ, NXNE, CMW and JunoFest. In 2009, Secret Broadcast recorded their debut LP, Exploding Spiders, with Juno Award winning producer Laurence Currie (Sloan, Wintersleep, Holy F*ck) and went on a cross-Canada tour. The album, which was released independently, quickly climbed the Canadian college and commercial radio charts. It peaked at #40 on the monthly college radio charts, while the first single, Out Of Control, reached #60 on the Canadian Alt/Rock charts. The record also reached #1 on CIUT (Toronto) and The Verge's (XM Satellite Radio) weekly charts. In late 2010, Secret Broadcast relocated to Toronto from Calgary, and recently completing a new record with acclaimed producer, Jon Drew (Tokyo Police Club, Fucked Up, Arkells, Dinosaur Bones). The album will be released on May 22nd 2012.
