The 1982 Listening Post - The Secrets - ...Secrets

 The Secrets - ...Secrets



1982 Housekeeping

The Secrets

…Secrets

Genre: Power Pop

4 out of 5



Highlights:

It’s Your Heart Tonight

Shy Around Girls

Radio Heart



The genre that just won’t die. When you have the skinny tie songs but access to new studio tech, you might find yourself dialing ups the fuller sound and dialing back the dryness that I always loved about the late 70s aspect of Power Pop.

But, here’s the thing, this is what Raspberries would have sounded like 10 years later, I think.

Songs like “Uniform” and “Radio Heart” are simple in subject but powerful in their own way that scream that they want to be sung in front of 50,000 people but I don’t know that The Secrets ever got in front of 500.
