[Editor’s Note: Now THIS is a good write up! Thank you Secret Signal for the put into this!]
With the world facing the current Covid-19 pandemic, every band’s dream of touring has to be put on hold and it’s no different for Secret Signal, Brunei’s hardest touring band. Being in a country with no underground scene, the only chance Secret Signal gets to play shows has to be done all overseas and the band has been touring almost 4 to 5 times a year prior to the current pandemic reaching new heights each and every tour and this music is a throwback of the tour life we, and we’re sure every other touring band, love and cherish the most.
The music video features 2 songs starting with ‘Home’ which guitarist, Bryant, wrote whilst walking aimlessly on the streets of Japan. This short song speaks about being lost in a foreign country with no clue as to where home is. And the 2nd track “We cannot win” is a song dear to Secret Signal as it speaks about fighting to reach our dreams as a band coming from a country with an almost nonexistent underground scene. The line “why are we still here, even though we cannot win?” is a question we ask ourselves every tour or every opportunity we get to go out and play music overseas.
