Michael F. This is truly fantastic. Why aren't these guys on No Idea or something yet? The race is on to sign this great band. What a find.... Favorite track: Sea of Conversations.

    Hailing from sunny Tampa Bay, FL, Secret World plays a thunderous brand of punk, complete with "whoah"s and sing-a-long choruses not unlike scene mainstays Hot Water Music and Iron Chic. After playing together in Awkward Age for close to 10 years, the chemistry between guitarist Matt Shumate and vocalist/guitarist Vic Alvarez was already established when bassist Dave Conrad and drummer Joe Dave joined the fold. Now the group has released its debut EP, 4 songs combining grit with tack-sharp songwriting and a freight-train rhythm section to boot. Lost love, isolation, FoxNews pundit takedowns, it's all here. Get stoked!

    These cassettes are limited to 25 Black Tapes w/ Gold Splatter.

It’s been quite a year it’s been quite a decade going out West then coming back East I’m always leaving I thought I might find God driving through New Mexico its just desert for days until the ocean it's just the desert till you come home If I leave now I promise to let go we were sitting alone in a sea of conversations So strong so proud I was the devil that you know we were sitting alone in a sea of conversations When I was young I was convinced of the notion when I found love I would be enough and it would be easy every time she walks out I learn a little more about that kid he never tried to listen or think about what he did If I leave now I promise to let go we were sitting alone in a sea of conversations So strong so proud I was the devil that you know we were sitting alone in a sea of conversation I refuse to be stuck in this bed anymore so angry that it hurts to speak and we suffer and we find in value our pain we find our courage to start again

Blackguarder 02:47
I see the blood dripping off from your ring you want this praise but still you’re blackguarding bad faith it sounds like crashing waves against the darkness on the edge of your faith. BLACKGUARDER! BLACKGUARDER! How did you’ve come to your own? A fucked up mouth with no answers. With your thumb out waiting for the clawback. You’re playing strong when all you want is a canary in a coal mine. And when you sprayed gas into a crowd you thought you’d stop our celebration dance on the avenues. Now, a cloying display of a bad faith call for prayer and call for civility. BLACKGUARDER! BLACKGUARDER! We’re still waiting for a new reaction, for a new conviction on high.

Isolator 02:59
I was a writer when it came down but now I’m stuck and I can’t dig it out I’m too distracted the days are turning into months now it’s a bargain for a hope and a crashing drum IN ALL THIS ISOLATION IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL? IT’S HARD TO BREATHE RIGHT WHEN YOUR BACK’S AGAINST THE WALL! IF THEY DON’T WANT IT
THEY DON’T CARE! It was a fiction when it came down we lost the plot and we can’t dig it out cause it was the real thing silent shifts in the goal here I’m holding on to that diamond ring and what that life might bring the better side of change? THEY DON’T WANT IT
 THEY DON’T CARE! if we ever gave a damn we won’t lose sight of the question WHERE’S THE ANSWER? WHERE’S THE ANSWER? it’s so simple of a notion but so vast when it’s opened WHERE’S THE ANSWER? WHERE’S THE ANSWER? we’re searching for unknowns not waiting for the same fucking road WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL? IT’S HARD TO BREATH RIGHT WHEN YOUR BACK’S AGAINST THE WALL! THEY DON’T WANT IT
 THEY DON’T CARE!

Stellern 03:12
I’m so sick of the drama I want to hear your voice cut through all the pain and the trauma I will need a world where we wash away all our past mistakes where do we go? in my past iterations was I a king of a great land? with great works of a kingdom? what became of them? don’t fool yourself time will conquer you where do we go? when that evening sun has gone away and all we have is the last light painting dusk a purple-red but for now I sleep sound knowing it was us against the world it’s gone away all we’ll have is the last light painting dusk a purple-red but for now I sleep sound knowing it was us against the world
