Grinspoon
Australian rock band
Grinspoon are an Australian rock band from Lismore, New South Wales, which formed in 1995 by Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass guitar, Kristian Hopes on drums and frontman Phil Jamieson on vocals and guitar. Also in that year, Grinspoon won the national youth radio, Triple J–sponsored Unearthed competition for Lismore, with their post-grunge song "Sickfest". The band's name references Lester Grinspoon, an associate professor emeritus of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who supported marijuana for medical use.
All eight of Grinspoon's studio albums have reached the ARIA albums chart top 10. Their sound changed to mainstream rock with the release of their third studio album, "New Detention" (2002), which peaked at No. 2; likewise, their fifth studio album "Alibis & Other Lies" (2007) also reached No. 2. The 2004 fourth album, "Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills", peaked at No. 4. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2005 it won the Best Rock Album Award.
The band were signed to Universal Records in the United States by late 1998, and were promoted with the songs "Champion", which featured in "Gran Turismo 3"; "Post Enebriated Anxiety", which was on the international version of "Guide to Better Living" (1999); "Chemical Heart", via the internet; and a cover of the Prong song "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck", from Grinspoon's "Pushing Buttons" (1998) EP, which was also included on "" (1998). On 4 December 2013, the band members announced an indefinite hiatus to pursue individual projects, although they made a return in earnest in 2017. Their eighth studio album, "Whatever, Whatever" (2024) reached No. 3.
History.
1995-2000: Early years.
In July 1995, Pat Davern (guitar), Joe Hansen (bass guitar), Kristian Hopes (drums) and Phil Jamieson (vocals, guitar) met at a Lismore hotel, The Gollan, for a jam night. They decided to form a band and three weeks later they recorded a two-track demo, which they entered for the national youth radio station Triple J's Unearthed competition. Their name was taken from Lester Grinspoon, an associate professor emeritus of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who supported marijuana for medical use. They won the competition with their post-grunge, alternative rock song "Sickfest" – their first track ever written together by Davern and Jamieson.
Grinspoon gained airplay on Triple J and independent radio stations. They developed a strong following among the Australian "alternative" and "mosh pit crowd." Their debut extended Play (EP) was the six-track, "Grinspoon" (a.k.a. "Green Album"), was released in 1995 through the independent Oracle Records. It contained the songs "Sickfest" and "More Than You Are" that became popular with fans and were rerecorded on later releases.
Grinspoon's second EP, "Licker Bottle Cozy", recorded in June 1996 and produced by Phil McKellar, was released by Grudge Records in December. It had a slightly heavier sound than their earlier EP with five tracks including the songs "Champion" and "Pig Pen". In September 1997 they released their first full-length album, "Guide to Better Living", co-produced by McKellar and well-known Swiss-American heavy metal producer Ulrich Wild. The album peaked at No. 11 on the ARIA Albums Charts and went platinum with sales of over 70,000 in Australia. It represents the Helmet-influenced alternative metal sound of their early career with heavier songs like "Pressure Tested 1984". The Australian version of the album features five live songs—illustrating the band's sense of humour and ability to play live—and a hidden track, the acoustic "Protest". US branch of Universal Records signed the band by late 1998 and released an altered version of "Guide to Better Living" in March 1999.
Whilst in US touring for ten months as support act for Creed, Lit, Godsmack and Anthrax, Grinspoon released a six track EP, "Pushing Buttons", for their Australian market in September 1998. It featured the popular heavy song "Black Friday" and the lighter songs "Busy" and "Explain". After the intense US touring, Grinspoon released their second album, "Easy" in September 1999, which peaked at No. 4 and went platinum in Australia. It contained the singles "Ready 1" and "Rock Show".
2001-2007: Changing direction.
After a break to reconsider their direction and sound Grinspoon started recording their next album, "New Detention", in Sydney's Festival Studios in September 2001 but prior to finishing the studios were shut down and so vocals and guitars were recorded in smaller studios. Further delays occurred after Hopes injured his hand on a studio window. "New Detention" was released in June 2002 and was more commercial—it peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Charts and went platinum. The first single from the album, "Chemical Heart", released in February had created a stir with long term fans and the media because it was different from their previous grunge sound. The band insisted the change was a natural one and was an improvement. Nevertheless, the band still performs older tracks in their live shows. They released a four track EP in March 2003, "Panic Attack"—containing a cover of INXS's "Don't Change"—which reached No. 13 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
In August 2004, they released a new single, "Hard Act To Follow", which reached the Top 30. It was from the September album "Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills", which peaked at No. 4 and went platinum. Grinspoon also performed at the 2004 NRL grand final before a second single, "Better Off Alone", issued in November, also reached the Top 30. The third single was "Hold on Me" released in February 2005. For "Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills", the band agreed that they were deliberately seeking a new audience, claiming they wrote a number of songs for the release and rejected any that sounded like earlier work. It won the 2005 'Best Rock Album Award' at the ARIA Music Awards. They had previously been nominated 9 times.
Grinspoon had built a strong local following after their rise, they were regulars at Australian music festivals. On 26 March 2006, Grinspoon performed "Hard Act To Follow" and "Better Off Alone" at the 2006 Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Melbourne. They headlined the inaugural "Thank God It's Over" in Melbourne, at "BOBFest '06" in South Australia in October and at Odyssey 2006 at Dreamworld for New Year's Eve.
In February 2007, Jamieson admitted himself to rehab due to addiction to crystal methamphetamine. On Andrew Denton's "Enough Rope" in July, Jamieson discussed his drug addictions, an extramarital affair, stealing money from bandmates, detox and rehab experiences.
The band completed, "Alibis & Other Lies" in July 2007, as their final album for Universal. It was co-produced by the band and Ramesh Sathiah, who had worked with them on their earliest recordings. Earlier albums before this were pop-oriented rock, while "Easy" and "Alibis & Other Lies" were more heavy rock. The first single from the album, "Black Tattoo", was released as a digital download on 23 June and physically a week later. The album peaked at No. 2, their equal highest album chart position (with "New Detention" in 2002). Grinspoon released a 2-disc compilation entitled "Best in Show". The first disc featured their hits and several older songs, like "Champion", which landed the song on "Gran Turismo 3". The second disc includes a collection of covers recorded over the years. In the US, all Grinspoon albums had been released on iTunes and other online music stores. The first four were "Guide To Better Living", "Best In Show", "Thrills, Kills, and Sunday Pills", and "New Detention". "Easy" and "Alibis & Other Lies" followed on 31 October 2007.
2008-2009: Hiatus.
On 5 February 2008, Jamieson announced, via the band's official website, that Grinspoon were on hiatus following their appearance at Big Day Out in late January. Grinspoon headlined the Newton's Playground festival, held atop Bathurst's famous Mount Panorama in March, with their song "Lost Control" played in advertisements for the festival. On 1 May, Grinspoon announced they would complete more shows before writing a new album.
Grinspoon recorded The Easybeats' track "St. Louis" for a tribute album, "Easy Fever: A Tribute to The Easybeats and Stevie Wright"—released in October 2008—while Jamieson's duet with The Wrights on "Evie part 3: I'm Losing You" from 2005 was included. The band contributed the track "Blind Lead Blind", their B side of 2007's "Minute By Minute", to a compilation CD for The Buttery Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centre titled "Caution: Life Ahead", which included contributions from other Australian acts such as Powderfinger, Midnight Oil and The Living End, and was released in November.
Grinspoon performed on 26 July 2009 at the annual Splendour in the Grass Festival in Byron Bay. Jamieson then toured with a supergroup composed of The Living End's Chris Cheney, You Am I's Tim Rogers, and Josh Pyke with a 17-piece band in August 2009. The group performed a tribute to The Beatles' White Album for its 40th anniversary.
2010: "Six to Midnight".
Grinspoon's next album, titled "Six to Midnight", was released on 11 September 2009 on the band's imprint Chk Chk Boom Records, distributed by Universal Records, which peaked at No. 6. Two tracks, "Dogs" and the first single, "Comeback", were released to radio earlier. For promotion of the album, the band toured in a more intimate setting than most of their previous concerts. On 6 November, Grinspoon played live on Triple J radio and confirmed that "Summer" was the second single from the album. In 2010 Premonitions was released as the third single from the album. The band toured for the album including two acoustic shows in London in early 2012 featuring Phil and Pat.

The Secrets
American girl group
The Secrets were an American girl group from Cleveland, Ohio.
The group first performed under the name The Sonnets, named after the Sonnet manufactured piano. They were offered a local gig supporting local ensemble the Starfires (later the Outsiders), and at one of these performances, talent scout Redda Robbins offered them a contract. The group then met with songwriters Johnny Madara and David White, later members of The Spokesmen. Through their influence, the group was able to release a single on Philips Records called "The Boy Next Door"; the song hit number 18 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 in December 1963. They were booked to appear on "American Bandstand" the weekend of November 22, 1963, which was cancelled due to John F. Kennedy's assassination, and they were the last group to appear on "American Bandstand" in the spring of 1964, before it moved home from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Three more singles followed on Philips, but none of them charted, and the group parted ways in 1965.
Members Patty Miller and Carole McGoldrick continued performing as the Memories for a year following the breakup. The group reunited in the early 1990s to play at their high school reunion. They later reunited for a "Pride of Cleveland Past" Concert at the Parmatown Rib Burnoff in the early 2000s. Carole McGoldrick died on June 16, 2010.

History.
Formation and "The Ascent" (2010–2012).

The band was quickly signed to Velocity Records, an imprint of Rise Records. While their initial intention was to release an EP, the band opted to proceed with a full-length album title titled "The Ascent" in 2012 produced by Tom Denney, formerly of A Day to Remember.

The Secrets (Canadian band)
The Secrets were a Toronto punk rock band during the first wave of late 1970s punk. Their line-up consisted of Freddie Pompeii (vocals & harmonica), Chris Haight (guitar), John Hamilton (bass) and Mike Anderson (aka Motor X) on drums.
The band had been The Viletones with Pompei as guitarist and Haight on bass behind singer Steven Leckie. When that version of the band broke up in 1978 the band reformed without Leckie, with Pompei moving to vocals and Haight to guitar. John Hamilton, previously a drummer with The Diodes, joined on bass.
The Viletones was a typically loud, fast and angry punk band; The Secrets were more of a 1960s garage punk band similar to contemporary bands like the Flaming Groovies, Real Kids and Teenage Head. Their sets included covers of songs like The Isley Brothers "Shout", Bo Diddley's "Diddy Wah Diddy", Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith's "Guitar Boogie" and "Zoom", a Doo-Wop song by the Collegians.
The band played extensively, mostly in Toronto, from 1978 to 1980, and they made a trip to New York to play Max's Kansas City.. They were also included in "The Last Pogo" film and soundtrack in 1978.
They recorded an album, "Success Without College", in 1979 for Bomb Records. That was followed by a single, a cover of Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman. The album received favourable reviews but they did not translate into sales. Then Pompeii was arrested on a drug charge and he had to return to his native Philadelphia, where he went into the newspaper business. Hamilton played with The Ugly Ducklings then left the music business.
Their debut album was re-released in 1997 with bonus live tracks.
The band appears in the 2013 documentary "The Last Pogo Jumps Again".
Mike "Motor X Anderson" died in 2012, Pompeii died in 2017.

Jieun later announced via Instagram that she was no longer a member of Secret as her contract was violated and no longer exists.
On March 5, Hyoseong's lawyer revealed that she had filed a civil lawsuit against TS Entertainment in September 2017 to confirm that her contract with the agency is no longer valid. Hyoseong's lawyer stated “First, there are payments that Jun Hyo-seong has not received. TS Entertainment also transferred the management rights conferred by its exclusive contract with the singer to another party without the consent of Jun Hyoseong herself. Not only is this a clear violation of her contract, but it is also a source of instability in her promotions as a singer.” He also stated that it would be unlikely of Hyoseong to remain a member of Secret while under TS Entertainment given the situation and the lack of trust and communication between the agency and Hyoseong, effectively ending the group.
Artistry.
Musical styles and theme.
Retro is the main musical style of the majority of Secret's singles, although the group has channeled other genres such as pop, dance, R&B, and hip-hop. Secret were originally formed with an intention to be an RnB and Hip-Hop group as seen in their debut single, "I Want You Back". As "Seoulbeats" wrote, "Originally debuting with an urban RnB concept, the girls of Secret have transformed themselves into the queens of retro ever since their breakthrough hits with “Magic” and “Madonna”. Furthermore, with Wonder Girls recently vacating their long-held affair with retro in favor of a more fresh and futuristic(?) approach, Secret lays claim as the next best group to have established a retro identity." Catherine Deen of Yahoo! Philippines said that the group is known "for its unique ability to take retro music and make it their own." While reviewing "Love is Move", Park Hyunmin of "enewsWorld" commented that Secret is "known for its pop-heavy beats and easy-to-follow dance moves". Hyunmin further added that "Secret's main appeal is its retro beat and sexy choreography".
Secret's output, particularly with their work with Kang Ji-won and Kim Ki-bum, makes use of live instruments such as brass, saxophones and drums with the incorporation of synthesizers and electric guitars. While reviewing "Poison", "Seoulbeats" commented that "the composition [of "Poison"] contains a very fitting saxophone hook along with recognizable brass and drum instrumentals that have become the trademark of Secret and their in-house composers, Kang Ji-won and Kim Ki-bum, who have produced all of Secret's retro hits. Secret's secret formula for success lies not only in their determined execution of one particular style, but their consistent development of a concept that suits them very well." "Seoulbeats" concludes that "Secret has carved out its conceptual niche in the K-pop market by developing a distinct and consistent style, and thus they are now in a position to elevate their success and recognition in the industry. While most other groups undergo drastic changes over time to keep current fans interested and to attract new fans, Secret clearly benefits from the advantages of continuity. What other groups or idols have carved out a stylistic niche over the years?"
Image.
Secret is also known for their transitions to cute and the girl-next-door image through songs like "Shy Boy" and "Starlight Moonlight" from the sexy and powerful image through "Magic", "Madonna" and "Poison" while still retaining retro as the main theme for their sound. Although a commercial success with "Magic" and "Madonna" peaking at number two and number one respectively on the Gaon Charts, Secret failed to win a first place award on any televised South Korean weekly music shows such as "M! Countdown", "Music Bank" and "Inkigayo" until "Shy Boy". "Seoulbeats" wrote, "Secret embarked on an aegyo phase in their following release of “Shy Boy" although with much voiced displeasure from the members. Despite the radical change in their personalities, their style remained consistent in staying with and expanding upon their retro identity. The song became a major success as Secret traded in their sex appeal for a heavy dose of aegyo, resulting in much hardware for their chart-topping song." Secret kept its cute imagery with their following single "Starlight Moonlight" until the release of "Love is Move" and "Poison". During their promotions with "Poison", Jun Hyoseong commented "Secret has always been known as a cute group that appeals to the general public. This time, however, we′ve escaped that and showed off our unique charms. Our visuals have also changed for the sexy." Jun added, "We′re actually closer to Shy Boy in real life."
Endorsements and other activities.
The group's popularity and success in Korea has led to endorsement deals such as Gueoseu Chicken, Googims mall, Grand Mer(Online Fishing Game), Nike, Nene Chicken, Good Day Soju and Parkga among others. Sunhwa became more active in acting, modelling and frequently participating in variety shows. In 2009, she became a fixed cast on a popular variety show called "Invincible Youth".
In December 2010, Secret and the Korean Non-Life Insurance Association (KNIA) teamed up to film a Commercial Film in a Gangnam studio to share their message of concern against drunk driving. With Secret, they were also appointed as ambassadors in campaigns and events such as "The Seoul Competition Movie Content 'Streamed Seoul 2009' Goodwill Ambassador(2009)", "The 18th National Women's Soccer Tournament ambassador(2010)", "The Eco-Project environmental campaign 'URBAN FARM'(2010)", "The 8th International Paralympic Skills Competition(2010)" and others. On December 28, 2011, Secret were appointed as PR ambassadors for the ‘Korea Consumers Forum’. After the group filmed the music video of "YooHoo" in Saipan during the month of April in 2013, the tourism board of Northern Mariana Islands named Secret as their newest tourism ambassador for 2013. Secret joined fellow South Korean artist Psy as their new tourism ambassador who joined in 2012.
On January 10, 2013, KBS revealed that Han Sunhwa would make her acting debut on prime-time television with "Advertisement Genius, Lee Tae Baek" as Lee So Ran, an aspiring actress and the younger sister of Lee Tae Baek played by actor Jin Goo.
Awards.
In 2010, Secret released their hit single "Magic" which was nominated at the 12th Mnet Asian Music Awards for "Best Dance Performance by a Female Group".

With the success of "Magic" and "Madonna", the group received the "Newcomer award" at the 25th Golden Disk Awards.
"Shy Boy" earned the group's first win in Mnet's M! Countdown and SBS's Inkigayo. The song was their first "Triple Crown" in KBS's Music Bank and garnered them multiple awards and nominations. The song was nominated for "Song of the Year" and "Best Dance Performance by a Female Group" at the 13th Mnet Asian Music Awards.

No Secrets (group)
American girl group
No Secrets was an American girl group formed in 2000. The group consisted of five members: Angel Faith, Carly Lewis, Erin Tanner, Jessica Fried, and Jade Ryusaki. The group debuted in the United States in 2001 with the single "Kids in America".
History.
2000–2002: Formation, debut album and tour.
No Secrets was formed by Carly's father, Adrian Gurvitz, a music producer from London. She wrote a letter to him asking to put a group together. Soon after, Jade was invited; Carly and Jade's mothers were friends. Erin, Jade's cousin, joined next. Later, the three girls found Angel in an advertisement for a singing group; she joined, bringing Jessica with her. Once the group line-up had been completed, No Secrets began recording songs for their debut album. The girls worked with a variety of producers and songwriters, including Adrian Gurvitz, Andy Goldmark, and Riprock 'n' Alex G. The process took a number of months. They took a break from recording and album prep to go touring and promoting their group. In July 2001, No Secrets joined Aaron Carter in Toronto for the shooting of his video "Oh Aaron" and provided backing vocals for the song. They were also featured in another track of off his album, "Stride (Jump on the Fizzy)." In 2002, after touring with Carter for four months, they filmed their first video, the home VHS and DVD release "No Secrets - Get to Know Us", and resumed work on their album.
Later that year, the group released their self-titled debut album, with singles "That's What Girls Do" and "Kids in America." The latter was featured in the soundtrack for the 2001 film "" and its music video was included as a bonus for the film's VHS release. "That's What Girls Do" played in the end credits of "The Powerpuff Girls Movie", and its music video was a bonus feature on the DVD. The song would later be used in "The Hot Chick". They also recorded "Little Angel of Mine" for the soundtrack of "Stuart Little 2."
2003–2004: Faith's departure and "Friends Forever".
In early 2003, No Secrets was featured on "DisneyMania" singing a cover of "Kiss the Girl" from "The Little Mermaid."
Soon after singing the majority of leads in the band, Angel left the group to pursue a solo career, releasing the album "Believe in Angels... Believe in Me" in 2004, just as the finishing touches were being put on No Secrets' second album, "Friends Forever." The album was released with Angel featured in the artwork because it was too close to the release date and too far in production to make any changes. The four remaining members recorded and shot a video for the song "Once Upon (Another) Dream" for Disney's 2003 DVD release of "Sleeping Beauty." At one point, many rumors floated about a new member joining the girl group, but no official statements were ever made. Until blog posts and other articles were created a few years later stating, Lady Gaga was confirmed to promptly replace Angel in late 2003 but after her manager backed out of the project too early, Gaga (then known as Stefani) didn't make it into the group.
2005: Break-up.
Disagreements between the remaining four members of the group led to the eventual break-up of No Secrets in March 2005.
Jessica Fried took on a solo career, signing with Reprise Records under the name Jessi Malay. Erin Tanner adopted the stage name Nicki Foxx and began working on solo material.
In a 2007 interview, Fried commented on the break-up, stating that the girls got along great but greedy parental actions ended up breaking the group apart.
In 2007, Angel Faith retired from the entertainment industry and began pursuing an education. In June 2009, she graduated magna cum laude from UCLA and went on to complete a doctorate degree in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University. Jade Ryusaki now resides in Hawaii as a model.

The song was released as a single for digital download and streaming by Ministry of Sound in various territories on 24 April 2020. Musically, it is an English-language deep and retro-sounding club, house and R&B song.

Lyrically, the song touches on the theme of secrets, as Raye sings about someone who has something to hide. Regarding their collaboration, Raye stated: "I'd written the top line [of 'Secrets'], to a completely different song, with the same lyrics and melody, and it was a lot slower [...] I sent it to [Regard], and he sped it up, gave it a whole new chord thing, put these instruments in, gave it this crazy drop. He like, reignited what was a slow R&B song and made it into some rejuvenated sexy, pop-dance banger." In a 2021 "#SongwriterSaturday" interview with Kim Taylor Bennett of Spotify, Raye mentioned that she had "so much respect" for Regard for allowing her to have a co-lead artist credit on "Secrets" after feeling overlooked as a featured artist on dance songs in the past.
Reception.
Upon release, "Secrets" was met with critical acclaim from music critics. For Songtexte.com, Ramona highlighted Raye's vocal delivery and the song's production, and continued writing that "[the song] will heat up the dance floor at home during Corona and the dance floor in the club after Corona, properly". While Anna Sky Hulton from Planet Radio labelled the song an "amazing dancefloor filler", Ale Mancinelli from EDM Lab wrote that "['Secrets'] keeps some similarities with the sounds of ['Ride It'], however, [it] maintains originality and appeal". Writing for Radio FG, Jean-Baptiste Blandin viewed the song as a "powerful track [...] which has everything to become the new hit of the summer". Commercially, "Secrets" reached the top 10 in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Croatia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Poland, Scotland and the United Kingdom, and also entered the top 50 in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Hungary, the Netherlands and Slovakia. It further reached number eight on the "Billboard" US Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

The video also features remote appearances from Regard driving through the late-night streets on a motorbike and Raye performing the song on several television screens. Rob Ulitski from Promo News commended the video as "slick" and "futuristic" in its style and wrote that "[it] leans into more conceptual territory, and delivers a high-energy, quickfire succession of striking set pieces". Writing for Celeb Mix, Katrina Rees complimented the video as "epic", which according to her "is perfectly suited to the club-ready [song], and [...] will no doubt help it continue [its] growing success over the coming weeks and months".

Secrets (1992 Australian film)
Secrets (also titled One Crazy Night / Do You Want to Know a Secret?) is a 1992 Australian film, directed by Michael Pattinson, and starring Dannii Minogue (in her feature film debut) and Noah Taylor. The film follows four of the Beatles' biggest fans (and an Elvis Presley fan who hates the Beatles), who are trying to gain access to the band, and entry to their concert, eventually finding themselves locked up in the basement of the hotel where the Beatles are staying during their tour. While waiting for rescue, they start to share their deepest secrets with each other. The film has notable similarities to "The Breakfast Club", in terms of plot, style, and characters.
The film's soundtrack consisted of instrumental renditions of many Beatles songs. However, the movie attracted criticism for including a number of songs from much later periods of the Beatles' history to the one being portrayed onscreen. Thus, scenes depicting 1964 Beatlemania were played against songs from later albums such as "Abbey Road" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", which many viewers felt did not fit with the tone of the film.
Willa O'Neill was nominated for the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.

Secret Life (band)
British Music band
Secret Life was a British R&B/house and pop band active from 1991 to 1996, particularly popular in the UK and Europe.
History.
The first release by Secret Life was a white label recording called "Spanish Lullaby", written and produced by Andy Throup and Jim Di Salvo. This was their first release from their "No Fixed Abode" recording studio, set up in South London. The band then increased in size with the addition of Charlton Antenbring and Paul Bryant. Antenbring was a fashion student, disc jockey and reporter for "The Big Issue". Jim Di Salvo contributed on guitars, cubase programming, sampling and music production. Throup was a classically trained pianist and contributed to cubase programming and music production. Bryant was the vocalist. Bryant and Throup co-wrote most of Secret Life's material.
Contemporaneous to the development of Secret Life, Throup was also working with others involved with techno and house music, such as noted techno and house DJ Lenny Dee.
The band toured extensively, particularly in the United Kingdom, and performed on three popular UK TV music shows: "The Beat", "Dance Energy" and "The Hitman and Her". They also released several music videos. Di Salvo left the band in 1993 to set up "Bass Boom" recording studios. Di Salvo then released numerous singles and albums under his own name, and the alias act names of "The Juggler", "Bong Brothers" and "Salvo Jets", during the 1990s.
One of Secret Life's first singles "As Always", a 1992 dance arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "As", was one of the most successful records issued by their then label, Cowboy Records, associated with their manager, Charlie Chester. After house producers Masters At Work remixed Secret Life's "Borrowed Time" (1994), Chester moved the band to Pulse-8 Records, with a view to enhanced pop appeal. He was able to obtain an eight album deal from the label. The group was now a core duo of Bryant and Throup. A pop-oriented single, "Love So Strong", previously issued by Cowboy Records in 1993, was remixed and released by Pulse-8 in 1994. Three other singles were released in 1994, followed by an album, "Sole Purpose", in 1995. According to one reviewer, "Production from Brothers in Rhythm, Chris Porter and Pete Gleadall give "Sole Purpose" an R&B and house feel, and the album is topped off with... thoughtful lyrics and smooth vocals."
From 1992 to 1996, the group released eight singles and one album. Five of the singles reached Number 1 on the Coolcuts and Mixmag dance charts in the United Kingdom. Two of the singles were also Top 40 hit record on the UK Singles Chart.
Pulse-8 Records subsequently went bankrupt, ending prospects of further releases through that label. Throup, now known as Andrew Grainger, moved to New York in 2000, and became a lounge pianist and recording studio owner. In 2007, Grainger relocated to Austin, Texas, to continue lounge work. After spending some time in the late 1990s contributing vocals to the work of others, Bryant left the music industry, becoming a support worker for disabled adults in South Gloucestershire, England.
