SECRET HANDSHAKE

Checkout this exclusive interview we did with the up and coming group The Secret Handshake...

Where does the inspiration for your music come from?
Well, I’ve always really been into daft punk and 80s pop, so I would have to say a large part of it comes from there.

Do you plan on adding any members to your band?
Ummm, well, I have live musicians that play with me on tour, but as far as actual members, probably not. hahah i really enjoy the alone time I get when I write! Plus it makes things easier when there are decisions to be made, I don’t have to figure out what 4 other people need and want and then weigh that with my own needs and wants to come to 1 decision. I can react quickly and do what I feel works best for the project.

What is your musical background?
Well... I grew up listening to 80s metal (Iron Maiden/Judas Priest) and then 80's and 90s pop. So I would have to say... in a nutshell that my musical background is PRE TEEN CRAP. Hahaha as for bands, when I was 18 I was the drummer in a metal band and not too far after that, I started doing my own thing and here I am.

Do you write your own lyrics?
Yes, of course!! Actually, I don’t really write anything down at all… I just start singing what comes to mind at the time and go with it.
