“They are dark souls wrapped in flowers and glitter... Fuzzy guitars, fun changes and songs of regret like 'Was It Chicago' to the blood and guts of 'Hardlite' make The Secret Secretaries high on my list of must see shows. ”
Tony DuShane - SF Gate- "Off the Record"

“They are the repository of what is great in rock n roll...”
Alan Kaufman - Promethean Royalty
