Fronted by former Ape House singer J. Forté and featuring the stellar rhythm section of Ody Leonard (bass) and Greg Gendron (drums), the Secret Pop Band (SPB) stands out in a crowded DC music scene by focusing on melody, hooks and the art of the three-minute pop tune.
Initially formed to promote J.’s debut solo record, Secret Pop, the SPB has evolved into a fully-realized, high-energy power-pop trio. The band's debut LP, Pardon the Solar Interruption, to be released in May, will address Forté's main interests - music, mortality, space and romance.
The Secret Pop Band is recommended for fans of catchy vocals, fuzzy guitars, nimble bass playing and infectious drumming. Get ready to be pop-rocked!
