Founded in the Summer months of 2008, State Secret began as an idea, and has evolved into something much more. The band hails from the sleepy, rural Indiana town of Martinsville, where Brent, Zach and John were high school classmates. After stints in other bands, the three came together and, with the addition of bassist Lance Simpson, shared a common goal; to make quality music.
Not content with current mainstream Rock, State Secret cites bands from a better time, including Nirvana and Oasis, as their influences. Songs with a raw sound and a soaring chorus, wrapped in a three-minute pop format are typical from State Secret.
In their first year, State Secret has performed nearly 70 shows around Central Indiana, including shows at the storied Bluebird in Bloomington and Spin Nightclub in Broad Ripple.
In late 2008, State Secret released an EP entitled "Morning Star." It was recorded in Bloomington, and is available on iTunes. Songs from "Morning Star" have seen moderate success. "In The Wake Of It All" was featured on Top 40 Indianapolis radio station 99.5 WZPL. "Make Me Believe" was used by ESPN and RedBull to promote the New Year's Eve Special "New Year's No Limits."
Moving forward, State Secret intends to maintain and even bolster their schedule, continuing to perform in Indiana and beyond. The band also intends to record their first full-length this fall.

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!
Just Came by to say HI! love the music
Regarding Sept. 12th: My sincere apologies, please read my latest blog entry and contact me if you have further questions. I tried very hard to make this work, but unfortunately...
♥ -CHECK THE LATEST BLOG ABOUT SEPT. 12TH- ♥
I still very much hope to see you out on Sept. 12th at SI GREENES for a great time, chance to promote, network, and support the local scene. It's now a mega-musician's-meet-up, and the first rounds on me! We're still raising funds for the Circle City Toy Run, and your music will still be showcased throughout the night via recordings. Please bring demos and CD's to sell! INDY IN-TUNE will be involved with live podcasting and interviews, so we're holding a VIP party in your honor!
Pool tables, darts, big screen TV's, free food and drink, you can't lose....!!! 7pm - 2am at SI GREENES, a mega musician's meet-up, paying respects for your work and talent.
There will be a good CROWD, but now we're just having a laid-back party type of thing, dedicated to all the bands and performers originally scheduled for this gig. Just think of it as an early, or late, birthday present. Still plan on coming out if you can!!! 7pm - 2am at SI GREENE'S PUB, yep...!
Great show last night guys, thanks again for coming out and good luck with the drummer situation! Have a nice week...
STATE SECRET,
Believe me, with such short notice and only weeks left, I did not want to change venues from ZANIES TOO to another location. But left with no other moral choice, and after being adequately screwed over by that venue for the past several months, I felt for the sake of general goodness and positive vibrations to MOVE THIS SEPTEMBER 12th event to a new location. I believe it's more "professional" of me to move the venue, than to move the date.
And that new location is SI GREENE'S PUB! on E. 10th street, only 2 minutes away from ZANIES, the original venue! You'll like their new stage, lighting and set up, as they are freshly geared towards showcasing live music every weekend and looking to book! There's plenty of space so plan on coming out to support the club's dynamic new appearance, and help kick off their desire to be the hottest live music venue on the east side!
Located in historic IRVINGTON.
STATE SECRET are slated for 6pm. If a representative from the band could try and be there at least one hour early, that would be excellent! If there has been a change or cancellation on your part, please let me know as soon as possible so I can try to fill in the spots. 30 minute sets per band would be optimum. Tell your friends, neighbors, family and complete strangers! Thanks very much, and looking forward to rocking with you!
