History

Formation and Self Titled EP (2013)

Secret Keeper formed in 2013 following vocalist Kyle Burrier and guitarist Thomas Filbert leaving their previous band, Decisions.[1] Together the pair wrote the band’s debut single, “Father’s Day” which is about Kyle’s father unexpectedly passing away two years prior.[2] The pair then proceeded to write two more songs to complete their debut self-titled EP recorded with Dylan James of The Last Sleepless City.[3] While writing for their debut EP, they were then joined by bassist Devon Whitney.[4] After the EP was tracked, they were joined by Erik Giesey[5] on drums and Brian Brown,[6] long-time friend of Thomas’s, as second guitarist. After releasing their EP through up-and-coming melodic hardcore promotional YouTube channel, Dreambound, Secret Keeper completed a small tour throughout Florida.[7]

Losing Sleep EP (2014)

One year after releasing “Father’s Day,” Secret Keeper then wrote, recorded, and released a single titled, “Left Alone” and began writing for a new EP. During this time Secret Keeper parted ways with Erik and were then joined by Dylan Honkonen[8] on drums who also previously played with Kyle and Thomas in Decisions. Secret Keeper then parted ways with Devon prior to embarking on a summer tour throughout the Southeastern and Midwestern United States.[9]

In September, Secret Keeper began recording their second EP, titled Losing Sleep, at Glow in the Dark Studios[10] with Matt McClellan.[11] Shortly after recording their second EP, Secret Keeper then left for a short east coast tour during the fall.[12] In December, Secret Keeper released its debut official music video for the song “Everything Falls Apart” off of Losing Sleep just before embarking on a tour across the United States.[13] While on tour, the band released Losing Sleep.[14][15]

Breaking up and Gravestones (2015)

In early 2015, Michael Johnson joined as bassist.[16] Shortly after, Secret Keeper would announce their “farewell show” in May.[17] By fall the Secret Keeper Facebook page became active again. In November the band announced they were back together and would be releasing a new single.[18] Upon releasing the single titled “Gravestones,” Secret Keeper announced they had begun writing for a new EP.[19]

Reunion and Ghost EP (2016-present)

In early 2016, Secret Keeper began recording their third EP at Sunray Recording Studio.[20] The band released their second music video for the song “Haunt” followed shortly after by the entire Ghost EP. The band is currently preparing to tour again.[21]
