Secret Rivals

Secret Rivals is a four-piece indie pop/punk band from Oxford, UK, known for their boy-girl vocals, sharp hooks, and emotional energy. Reuniting in 2023 after a nine-year break, musically influenced by the sharp edges of The Cribs, Idlewild, Pixies and The Wedding Present, they produce a sound which has been described as 80s - synth -infused lo-fi indie punk-pop in the mould of The Cure and Los Campesinos with vocals likened to riot grrrl bands, Bis and Huggy Bear.
