WELCOME BACKSTAGE!!!

About Me


Tara’s Secret are

Johnny Trowbridge(Vocals), Craig Chapman(Guitar/Vocals/Keys), Richie Beardsley(Lead Guitar/Vocals), Dave "Coupe" Deaville(Bass/Vocals) and John "JT" Thomas(Drums)

The love of stadium bands like Van Halen, Journey, Styx, Whitesnake etc brought us together to build our own mountain of Rock.

Over the past 4 years we have recorded the debut album "Spectrum Wheel" Gained reviews in music magazines and on many rock websites. We also were there at the launch of ARfm Rock Radio along with the legend that is Mr Bob Catley of classic rock band "Magnum".

We have had the pleasure of playing some fantastic shows and meeting some great people along with some amazing bands such as Dante Fox, Y&T, Magnum, ACT and countless others. There is nothing like being on the road and rocking hard!!! We have played over 100 shows since forming, including Dudley JBs, Journey UK Fan Club Convention, Robin 2, Crewe Limelight, Nuneaton Queens Hall, Sheffield Boardwalk.

In 2005 we moved up a gear and went back into the studio to record the 2 track demo "Drive Me Home / In Movies" at M2 Studios, this showed how far we had come as a band and we gained some fantastic reviews and radio play.

After a few personnel changes during 2006, we started writing for our 2nd album "Tomorrow the World." Recorded with the line up of Trowbridge, Chapman, Beardsley, Styne and Boltwood, the album went on to get some amazing reviews, radio station No1s and graced some of the best album lists of 2006.

Now after a year apart we are back in the studio writing for that all important 3rd album. If the tracks we have so far are anything to go on, this release will be harder, bigger, faster and louder than anything we have ever done. With recording time booked for April/May 2008 we are all really looking forward to getting back out on the road and kicking ass again!!!See you soon, Johnny, Craig, Richie, Dave & JT"Tomorrow the World" is available in UK fromwww.taras-secret.comwww.loud1.netST Records (Dudley)Reveal Records (Derby)www.theneverlandmusiccompany.comwww.destinyrecords.uk .comAvailable in Europe from www.AORHeaven.comwww.hangloose-records.comwww.schmankerl-rec ords.com.Available through www.megarock.com in Scandinavia.Available in USA fromwww.nehrecords.com

Reviews

"Tomorrow The World, is one of the best albums of this genre this year"- melodichardrocktoday.tk
"Messrs Secret, Chapman, Beardsley, Styne and Bolty, I salute you. You have surely produced one of the melodic rock highlights of the year so far..."- Paul Jerome Smith, Fireworks Magazine

"Along with Shineth, one of the best independently released melodic rock albums this year and a real must for lovers of all things melodic rock."- getreadytorock.com

"Any fan of this style of music will not be disappointed, I can not praise this band enough!"- www.myspace.com/shatteredheart78

"In a musical scene seemingly dominated by third rate, R ’n’ B ’n’ hip hop talent show "stars", Tomorrow The World is a British release to make the melodic rock world sit up, take notice and celebrate."- Ian Harvey, rockblogger.co.uk

"It’s rare these days to find independent music that is, a: good and b: causes excitement but Tara’s Secret have done both."- "Tomorrow The World is like getting all the best things in the same cake."aordreamzones.com
