Formed a few short years ago in Washington, DC by former Ape House singer J. Forté and the legendary rhythm section of Greg Gendron (Lejeune) and Ody Leonard, the Secret Pop Band (SPB) has become a favorite of music fans seeking some serious catchiness.  The SPB exhibits studied craft in the studio, but live the SPB takes on a high-energy garage pop vibe that has induced head bopping, toe tapping, and the occasional outburst of full-body movement.

The Secret Pop Band is pleased to announce the release of their debut album, Pardon the Solar Interruption.  Ever the consummate rock historians, the Secret Pop Band respect rich rock-n-roll traditions without ever resorting to cliché. From the Superchunk-esque rock of “Sunday’s Hard Rock Falls,” the neo-power balladry of “Listening to the Tiger,” to the pure-pop of “Week Old Beer,” the SPB delivers hook after hook with a mixture of humor, brevity and heart. 

The SPB’s concerns are those of the common pop fan – girls, music, outer space and mortality.  They understand. Tune-in to the Secret Pop Band this summer and catch a buzz!
