intro
Catchy-as-hell new single from recent One Little Inidan signing who seem destined for mainstream chart success
The Official Secrets Act have been quietly going about their business for a short while now with a number of low key single releases, but now they are poised to break into the mainstream with the catchy-as-hell ‘The Girl From The BBC’. Despite having already appeared on the B-side of their debut single, ‘Snakes and Ladders’, with the right airplay this time round it should become an indie disco staple for months to come, with the constant refrain of “She likes me, I like her” becoming lodged in the brain of practically every indie kid across the country. Musically, it ticks all the boxes to slot neatly into the current crop of indie scamps doing the rounds at the moment, but with added hooks. So much so, this Leeds formed/London based four piece should be a household name very soon. The secret is about to be released
