“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
“Secret Broadcast are a fantastic up-and-coming band with some great music."
- Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of the Virgin Group
Secret Broadcast's short history culminated in Calgary, Canada in 2006. Since then, they have played alongside such acts as Oasis, Stone Temple Pilots, Flaming Lips, The Fratellis, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Metric, The Stills, and Stereophonics, and have been invited to perform at such festivals as Virgin Festival Calgary and Toronto, North-by-Northeast (NXNE), Canadian Music Week (CMW), Vans Warped Tour and JunoFest. They also recently took top honor in the "Oh Henry! What Feeds Your Hunger?" contest, which was judged by various industry heavyweights including Sir Richard Branson, beating out over 300 bands across Canada.
The band is currently working on their highly anticipated debut LP to follow-up their 2007 released EP, Plastic Fantastic.
Plastic Fantastic is available at these fine record stores:
Megatunes 932 - 17th Avenue. S.W., Calgary, AB
10355 - 82nd Avenue, Edmonton, AB

Bryan... did you end up going to the Mobile show in Calgary? The new CD is pretty awesome. Apparently they're going back to Calgary in Nov. I can think of a really good opening act for that gig.........
Hey guys! Congrats on the V-fest Toronto gig(s). I must say, that picture of you guys rocking out onstage with Branson dancing in the background is pretty stellar!! Just saying hey from one Calgary artist to another. Maybe we can play a show together one day.
Bryan thanks for the kind words, appreciate you taking the time to read my mightily insightful profile and giving my tunes a listen next time you guys play in Toronto I'll climb out of my cave and come listen for sure you guys have some serious talent! cheers K
Hi There, Thank you for the friend request, Bryan. :) “Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast” ~Lewis Carroll. ***************Liliny
Can't wait to hear the new album! Jeez, a mega multi-millionaire dancing onstage with you guys!! How cool is that!!?!??!?! Where did u guys decide on recording the new stuff?
Saw you guys at V-fest and you blew my mind. The second song into your set I had to run and buy at-shirt and a cd. My friends ran into you after and got guitar picks (and I definitely stole one of them). Can't wait to catch ya back in the region.
You guys rocked it. Congrats on an uber-awesome set at V-fest and on converting *Sir* Richard Branson into a devoted fan and go-go dancer. Don't forget the little people when you're headlining in a few years. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to have a fan charge at you instead of a Gallagher brother or two.
Hey Bryan I'm playing in a new band! Check us out: www. myspace. com/haroh Congrats on the Virgin Festival in Toronto! It's almost time for that US Tour, first stop, Minneapolis :)
