Where To Find Secret Stuff

The cities listed are mostly in the Southern and Eastern regions of North America and a number of them do not have a venue confirmed. The dates start June 7 in Knoxville, Tenn., and end in the band’s hometown.

Secret stuff is a rock trio whose members blend very well musically and write some catchy riffs. The band’s latest EP, This Is Fine, was produced by John Hicks, who has worked with Relient K and Haste The Day. The producer uses distortion and echo to get a Jimmy Eat World-inspired sound.

What Secret Stuff really has going for it is the unmistakable drive and energy of a youthful band putting its absolute heart into its music. Secret Stuff keeps its sense of humor, writing songs with titles such as “I Lost My Dinosaur,” “Mila Kunis Seems Like A Lot Of Work To Date…” and “My Life Is A Steinbeck Novel,” but the lyrics are an earnest attempt at giving voice to the emotions, insecurities and vibrancy of youth.

Here’s a sample of the band’s lyrics:

But I don’t hate you
I just really wish I did
I would have married you
Who am I kidding?
We’re just kids

According to the group’s Bandcamp page, the members are still in college and host bi-weekly house shows.
