The Secret Faces
Hailing from South Wales, The Secret Faces have produced several loud and raucous gigs over the last twelve months, playing at any given chance to continue to spread their word. Support slots have been filled for the likes of The Gift (Former Jam Bassist Rick Bucklers band) The Animals and also Spencer Davis. Inspired by fellow Welsh rockers the 60 Foot Dolls and local band The Pocket Devils, with a sound reminiscent of a young angry Paul Weller they seem to have good pedigree, coupled with a strong work ethic.
Lead singer and guitarist Wayne Morgan’s love of music has come in no small part from The Pocket Devils. They offered inspiration for the young guitarist, being local lad’s from the same side of the track who were ‘doing it.’ The spark was enough for him to pick up the guitar at the age of 12 and ‘bash away for hours.’ Wayne watched The Pocket Devils play as often as he could and told me during a chat that the blame for him ‘becoming a mod’ lies with the band’s former frontman Jon Owen.
Wayne hunted down the other member of the band and convinced them to form the Secret Faces – consisting of bassist Mitchell Casey, lead guitarist Andy Price and drummer Anthony Hicks. The band have worked closely with clothing company Three Stroke Productions, who have given the band ongoing support. The fresh British clothing brand’s mod attire fits in neatly with the Secret Faces aesthetic. The band’s Myspace has a number of strong songs showcasing not only Wayne’s gravelly tones but also the tightness within the band. Moments of balls-out rock are present in spades with tracks like ‘History’, ‘In My Day’ and ‘My Generations Kids’.
The band is currently taking some time off from their busy touring schedule to enter the studio to record some new songs. Wayne is excited about the prospect of getting the new songs recorded and into the ears of their ever-growing army of fans. Big things are expected from this band but its no more then the expectations they’ve put onto themselves.
