Formation and Self Titled EP (2013)

Secret Keeper (band) secret keeper band Tumblr

Secret Keeper formed in 2013 following vocalist Kyle Burrier and guitarist Thomas Filbert leaving their previous band, Decisions. Together the pair wrote the band’s debut single, “Father’s Day” which is about Kyle’s father unexpectedly passing away two years prior. 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. While writing for their debut EP, they were then joined by bassist Devon Whitney. After the EP was tracked, they were joined by Erik Giesey on drums and Brian Brown, 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.
