Our Secret Sins

About Me


By mercy and truth iniquity is purged and by the fear of the lord men depart from evil.
WHO WE ARE.
Our Secret Sins are a musical experiment from the northeast of England, Teesside to be precise, this is the place that they call home,with all its faults, all its virtues, all the highs and all the lows,where the busy streets and bitter winters have spawned a generation of bands ready to attack the UK music scene, its weaknesses fuel their strengths, and its virtues feed their highs.
This is the place they formed with their sights set on making a difference, a difference through music for themselves and possibly a difference through music for anyone who would listen.
OSS don’t conform to any predefined, tried and tested blue print of what a band should be, do or say, they do things differently, see things differently and they always will, its about the music, the people and the freedom, its about bringing people together with one common interest, to put diffrences aside, to feel so alive that you forget the world and all its problems for just one night, its about you, about life, its about us, about caring, together you can do anything, together we can have everything, together we stand, divided we fall.
"Choose your path and unite" OSS are here to preach to all who will listen their own blend of intense string laced, venomous, synth cult pop. they will see you there, Seize the day.
A LITTLE PRESS & OPINION.
"Our Secret Sins filled corporation road with sweet psychedelic music from their homegrown perch"
ROB NICHOLS, EVENING GAZETTE, (on some of his highlights of Middlesbrough music live, Jun 09)
"The Incredible Our Secret Sins, the north easts answer to Arcade Fire"
INSIDE OUT, DARLINGTON, MAR 09
"The final Saturday Night Social Club of February plays host to undoubtedly one of the finest bands to emerge from Teesside in recent times - OUR SECRET SINS. With a few cheeky plays on BBC 6 Music already under their belt, their mesmorising mix of The Spinto Band, The Stone Roses, Arcade Fire and The Beta Band has been picking up plenty of plaudits over the past few months... and rightly so. We love them. You'll love them too."
TEN FEET TALL PROMOTIONS, FEB 09
"Some wonder-fuelled songs with so much instrumentation there is real depth, shade and colour - and power. Hold on to your hats as the music takes hold and takes off burning with the intensity of an Arcade Fire, the invention of Beta Band and with Beatlesque pop sense and sensibility."when one of the area’s most exciting up and coming acts take to the stage, a band that have been causing major ripples for some time."It’s fair to say that I liked them and those ripples of interest could soon turn into a tidal wave from Our Secret Sins."
ROB NICHOLS, ON THE BEAT, EVENING GAZETTE, LIVE REVIEW JAN 09
"When we first heard Our Secret Sins, we were over the moon! A brand new Boro band full of potential and do you know what, it hasn't taken them long to become fully potent. Imagine a hybrid of Arcade Fire, The Spinto Band and The Stone Roses…"wrap your ears around their rather splendid demos, demos which have already been receiving airplay on BBC 6 Music."
TEN FEET TALL PROMOTIONS, DEC 08
"Fast becoming local legends the massive our secret sin's fill up a stage like the sali army with 8 onstage banging out tunes fused with strings,synths,massive guitars and big vocals!"
JIMMY BECK, SHINE:LIKE:STARS, DEC 08
"Fine Teesside Band"
BOB FISCHER, BBC RADIO TEES, NOV 08
"Our Secret Sins are set to make their mark, with their intense string laced, venomous, synth cult pop, and listening to that track, Seize The day i reckon their absoloutely right"
TOM ROBINSON, BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC, INTRODUCING, NOV 08
"Excellent rock 4 beat underpinning swirling guitars" "Refreshingly off the wall"

THE LINK MAGAZINE NOV 08
"Silence" such a sprawling epic of a track innovative work - this is just the kind of fresh injection the music scene needs".
