  JOIN OUR MAILING LIST FOR EXCLUSIVE ACOUSTIC VERSION OF 'WHY ME'!  

Name: Dan Ashworth
Instrument: Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar

Dan started the band with Al back in September 2006 when he had a broken foot. He couldn't play football so he decided to make music again! Dan is the main songwriter of Secret Weapon although Al has co-written a few tracks. He has been playing guitar for 14 years and has previously been in a successful touring band playing rhythm guitar. They released 2 albums and played gigs in Germany and France. 

Name: Al Bristow
Instrument: Lead Guitar & Screams

Originally a co-writer of songs with Dan, Al helped craft such songs as "Whats Wrong is Left" and "Jill's Crown". Circumstances changed which means that Dan does most of the song writing now but Al did however write Shoot Down Stars and continues to write songs. Even though Dan is the lead singer, Al does all the talking and interacting with the crowd at live performances. Al acts as the band manager, organising gigs & promotion drives and sorting our the website/myspace/facebook etc.

Name: Jay Rozentals
Instrument: Bass

Jay joined Dan and Al in mid 2007 after they had not found a bass player who they felt confident with. 8 Days after Jay joined up, Secret Weapon were due to play the MAG Lions Rally. Jay learnt all the songs and aced the gig and it was from then on that Jay became a solid part of what Secret Weapon is. Its hard to imagine a Secret Weapon without Jay in it anymore. Jay also does the driving for the band which has meant he has missed out on many drunken nights!! Without this sober dedication, Secret Weapon wouldn't have been able to have progressed by playing gigs far and wide. 

Name: Lyndon Baker
Instrument: Drums & Second Vocals

After Dan, Al and Jay decided to get a new drummer in mid 2008, Al found Lyndon on the local Berkshire website, Berkshire Live. Lyndon comes from Derby and was taught to play by Therapy? drummer Neil Cooper. He had previously played drums in bands in Derby before moving to Reading. After a long search for a new band  and after turning down many bands including some established, he agreed to be the new drummer for Secret Weapon. The band has moved forward and upwards ever since his arrival.
