Here's a quick interview we did a while ago with Scott Revell, leader singer of the 5 piece London alt rock band Secret Company...
How and when did the band
form?
We formed a little over a year ago, but we’ve known
each other for longer from previous bands that we’ve been in.
Who are the bands musical
influences?
Our main musical influences are: Coldplay,
Fleetwood Mac, The Killers, John Mayer, Paul Simon - Plus loads more… that’s
just the shortlist!
How did you come up with the band name?
Our band name came from a song that we had previously written
and since the song wasn’t being used and we really liked the name... VOILA!
What
was the best gig you’ve ever played?
Our first gig at Hooga in Chelmsford was really great, we
played there in March earlier this year and it was packed
from front to back, the crowd were great and we had a really great time.
What was the worst gig you’ve ever played?
Well I guess we have yet to play a disastrous show! I lost my
pedal board at one, which I am still not happy about! All of us, from our
previous experiences, have had our fair share of poopers though... There
was one time when we drove all the way to Manchester from Essex and we got told
that we were too late and didn’t play... and another where we turned up to
no PA - which resulted in us playing through a tiny little karaoke piece
of tripe… and another where we got our car window smashed!
Which
of your own tracks is your favourite and why?
We have a song called Saviour, (which is on our Facebook
at the moment) - hint, go check it out!
Is
there a running theme throughout your lyrics or a certain message you try to
put across through your music?
We believe that every song deserves a point to
it, so there’s always a message.
What’s
an average day in the recording studio consist of?
Banter, coffee, beer, snacks and hard
work!
What
band would you most like to tour with?
To name one, The Killers would be
amazing.
Where
do you see yourself as a band in 5 years’ time?
Drinking white
Russians and kicking it.
Thanks a lot Scott!
