Our Take

Ah, Secret Affair, where have you been all my life? "So Cool - The Very Best Of" is like a blast from the past, whisking me back to the 80s with its infectious beats and razor-sharp lyrics. This album is a masterclass in mod-infused rock, showcasing the band's signature sound with tracks like "Time for Action" and "My World."

Lead singer Ian Page's vocals are as smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding over the music like a well-dressed mod on a Vespa. The band's tight musicianship is on full display here, with each member bringing their A-game to every song.

From the joyous energy of "Let Your Heart Dance" to the introspective beauty of "Walk Away," "So Cool" is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will leave you breathless. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument shining through in crystal-clear clarity.

But what really sets Secret Affair apart is their undeniable swagger. These guys are coolness personified, exuding confidence and style with every note they play. It's no wonder they were one of the leading lights of the mod revival movement.

In conclusion, "So Cool - The Very Best Of" is a must-listen for any fan of British rock music. Secret Affair may have been somewhat forgotten in recent years, but this album proves that their music is timeless. So grab your parka, hop on your scooter, and let Secret Affair take you on a ride you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Secret Affair

Hailing from the streets of London, Secret Affair burst onto the mod scene in the late 1970s with their infectious blend of punk energy and soulful melodies. Led by charismatic frontman Ian Page, this band quickly became darlings of the music press with their sharp suits, snappy lyrics, and undeniable cool factor. With comparisons to iconic acts like The Jam and The Who, Secret Affair carved out their own niche in the British music scene with hits like "Time For Action" and "My World." Their retro stylings may harken back to a bygone era, but their music remains timeless and relevant to this day. Known for their energetic live shows and tight musicianship, Secret Affair are a band that knows how to get a crowd moving. From the jangly guitars to the driving basslines, every element of their sound is perfectly calibrated to create a groove that is impossible to resist. But it's not just their music that sets Secret Affair apart - it's also their unabashed love for all things mod. From their sharply tailored suits to their impeccable sense of style, this band is a walking, talking embodiment of the mod ethos. They may hail from the past, but their music is brimming with a sense of youthful energy and rebellion that is as relevant today as it was back in the 70s. So if you're looking for a band that will transport you back to the heyday of the mod scene while still feeling fresh and exciting, look no further than Secret Affair. These guys may be a blast from the past, but their music is as vibrant and vital as ever.
