The Bay Area’s Secret People are on a three show tour which includes dates in Portland, Seattle and Olympia. Secret People play clear minded straight forward hardcore that sounds like NYC’s Antidote with a little more groove.

They have a new tape with them that features new jams you can preview here:

Why are they doing this? Just read the lyrics to their song “You’d Never Know”

“You thought you knew me / you couldn’t be more wrong / you see my nine to five / but after that I’m gone / what we do is secret / its not for everyone / this is what we and this is how its done / a three hour drive / for a fifteen minute set / to twenty fucking kids in a tiny basement

Would you / like me to show you

I treasure this / cause I know that this is rare / open minded people / who truly fucking care”
