Official Secrets Act – Radio 1’s new favourites

Official Secrets Act

Official Secrets Act

, London’s best new and unashamedly poppy band, have been warming the cockles of hearts owned by the cream of Radio 1 and BBC 6Music.

Super-cool Zane Lowe and veteran music legend Steve Lamacq have been championing these likely lads who present us their polished indie-pop with a darker side.

Debut single ‘So Tomorrow’ is an utterly singalongable affair, and won 6Music’s Rebel Playlist, a feature on Lamacq’s show where bands new and old battle it out for the love of the listeners. Official Secrets Act beat their more established colleagues The Futureheads and The Holloways with a whopping 81% of the votes. The band were also named as Zane Lowe’s prestigious Fresh Meat. Impressed? You should be.

With lyrical nous to worry Morrissey and pop structures that would sit well in the annals of Blur, The Clash, and anything Lou Reed’s had his mitts on, OSA are definitely going places.
