Since Secret Broadcast’s formation in 2006 they have opened for acts including Metric, The Stills, Matthew Good, and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, played alongside Oasis, MGMT and Flaming Lips, and have been invited to perform at both Calgary and Toronto Virgin Festival dates in 2008, main stage at Virgin Festival Calgary 2009, CMJ, North-by-Northeast (NXNE), Canadian Music Week (CMW), and JunoFest. On the strength of their 2007 EP, Plastic Fantastic, they received praise from the likes of Richard Branson, MuchMusic, CBC Radio 3, ChartAttack, and Manchester Music, received airplay on BBC radio, and charted on college radio stations across the country, as well as several commercial stations. In 2009, Secret Broadcast caught the ear of Juno Award winning Producer Laurence Currie (Sloan, Wintersleep, Holy F*ck) and recorded their debut LP, Exploding Spiders, which successfully captures the energy and intensity of their live performances. The album was mastered by Noah Mintz (Broken Social Scene, The National, Death From Above 1979). Exploding Spiders was released in Canada on September 1st and has charted on both college and commercial radio. The album has ranked in the college radio top 50 charts for 6 weeks straight while the first single, Out Of Control, reached #60 on the Canadian Alt/Rock charts.
