"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
“.. 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
“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
"..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
“Secret Broadcast are a fantastic up-and-coming band with some great music."
- Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of the Virgin Group

Since Secret Broadcast’s formation in 2006 they have played alongside acts including Metric, The Stills, Attack in Black, Matthew Good and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, and were invited to perform at such festivals as Virgin Festival Calgary and Toronto, CMJ, North-By-Northeast (NXNE), Canadian Music Week (CMW), and JunoFest. On the strength of their 2007 EP, Plastic Fantastic, they received praise from the likes of Richard Branson, MuchMusic, CBC Radio 3, ChartAttack, and Manchester Music, received airplay on BBC radio, and charted on college radio stations across Canada and commercial stations in Calgary.
In 2009, Secret Broadcast caught the ear of Juno Award winning Producer Laurence Currie (Sloan, Wintersleep, Holy F*ck) and recorded their debut LP, Exploding Spiders, which successfully captures the energy and intensity of their live performances. The album will be released nationally on September 1st, with a Canadian tour to follow.
