About Me

The Secondary is a band that embraces its diversity to produce a unique style of music. This music blends sounds from psychedelic to grunge rock and vintage blues to modern hip hop rhymes and soulful melodies. Each member takes a different perspective on the music that can be heard in their songwriting and performance.

"A mix of rock rhythms and hip hop swagger"
