The band has toured Southeast Asia and generated a following among the pop-punk crowds in the region
The Secret Signal has been winning over crowds with their punchy riffs and melodies. And theyβre doing so much more. They’re one of the few Bruneian bands that have toured in Southeast Asia to appeal to a larger pop-punk audience.
These days, they’re working hard to get their EP released. Recently, we’ve managed to speak with one of the band member Bryant to ask him more about the band’s musical direction.
