Secret Smile – Hurry Up And Wait 2005
Bubble gum rock of the past is almost in the same vein as the melodic pop rock of today. Secret Smile is one of those bands that fit in the genre; they have that pop sound with easy listening melodic vocals, similar to the style of Nick Gilder (Hot Child in the City) or Mike Tramp (WHITE LION). All the songs are balanced and could be played on pop stations around the globe. Two of the tracks have background vocals by Ted Poley (Danger, Danger).

Death Valley Knights – Valhalla Vintage (EP) (2017)

Secret Smile – The Road less traveled (2003)
However with ‘The Road Less Traveled’, tha band have secured more exposure for their hard work. Helping the band out is Mr Arcangel Jeff Cannata, who assisted on the engineering and mixing front. Also in to lend a hand is Pete Hodson, well known from another local band Z-Plan. Musically their style of melodic rock (for those who know their AOR.. obscure or otherwise) is similar to bands like Fortune (the Boston based outfit from the early 90’s), Chicago’s Kamera, and a host of commerical hair-metal outfits from the dearly departed nineties.
