The Secret City is a band based in the inner west of Sydney. It was formed by the songwriting partnership of Rusty Lynch(Vocalist) and Brendan Morello(Guitarist). The duo has been writing songs together for 11 years now with various projects. It was only in March 2011 when recording a new album that the sound of The Secret City was realized. The Secret City plays alternative music that can be described as dreamlike adventures in search of truth and beauty. Critics say that: “The self titled album from the Sydney group wraps itself around the senses and thoughts with cloaks of mesmeric charm, a provocative strength, and at times with a challenging intrusion but it is an experience from first note to last which engages every aspect of a person to bring forth imagery, emotions, and as they claim a sense of adventure." Ringmaster Review May 201 ""The Secret City has created a piece of art that speaks on many levels. It’s musical footprint occupies a unique place...this is highly creative and compelling music. This is an exceptionally strong disc that bodes well for the future of The Secret City" 4 /5 stars G.W Hill Music Street Journal

Soulless Lyrics:
We morbid souls, with rings under eyes, and we're growing old, without respite, our life is work, keep your low head down, and we feel so hurt that we can't be here now.
And, there was a time in my early life, when i knew myself, i knew my passions.
But we're soulless ghosts, wearing pastey smiles, underneath our cloaks, we hide our daggers, and we hide from depth, as we hide from truth, and we won't accept what's beneath the surface.
And, when i sleep, i can find relief, i can rest myself from my daily terror, and when i dream, i can hide from my grief, i can find new hope for my new endeavours...
