   About Secret Pop Band
Fronted by former Ape House singer J. Forté and featuring the stellar rhythm section of Ody Leonard (bass) and Greg Gendron (drums), the Secret Pop Band (SPB) stands out in a crowded DC music scene by focusing on melody, hooks and the art of the three-minute pop tune.

Initially formed to promote J.’s debut solo record, Secret Pop, the SPB has evolved into a fully-realized, high-energy power-pop trio. The band's debut LP, Pardon the Solar Interruption, out now, addresses Forté's main interests - music, mortality, space and romance.

The Secret Pop Band is recommended for fans of catchy vocals, fuzzy guitars, nimble bass playing and infectious drumming. Get ready to be pop-rocked!

Press for Secret Pop Band

“The group displays an energetic Superchunk-like pace that showers you with memorable hooks…and will send you into a catchy rock pop bliss that sticks with you on each successive spin!” - The Fire Note

“Lo-fi guilty pleasures, combining the best power-pop elements from Secret Pop tracks such as "Analyze" and "Purple Clouds, Dark Skies" with hook-and-harmony focus..."” - The Onion

“They belt out one catchy number after another. "Your New England Winter", the breezy "Solar Interruption", and the Kinksian "Week Old Beer" are the highlights, but close behind is the rocking "Sunday's Hard Rock Falls" and the amusingly titled "Rachel Harmony".” – Absolute Powerpop

“Pop music this good shouldn't be kept secret.” -Erasing Clouds

“Their self-described lo-fi pop belies their multi-instrumental talents; they're likely to swap instruments onstage and to impress you with their Sebadoh-like restraint.” -Washington Post

Squee!

It was 20 years ago today, when J. was Jamie . . . listen to what the allergy medication did to a young man's vocal chops!
