Trade Secrets launches all new album ‘Escaping History’
Trade Secrets
The Los Angeles-based Trade Secrets returns with “Escaping History”, a “new collection of stories about life, love and loss” as they call it. And more precisely, “this release is a reflection of the substantial emotional, artistic and existential growth that each of us as band’s members have experienced since the release of ‘These Other Lives’.”
The band themselves describe their sound as ‘future synth’ and was founded by machine rock veteran F.J. DeSanto (Hypefactor, the aggression) alongside longtime musical partners Mike “Ash” Venezia (Baye, 4th level) and multi-instrumentalist Charles LaBarbara. Joined by Peter Riley and John Kunkel, Trade Secrets blends multiple sounds and genres as you check out below.
“Life threw a few curveballs at us,” says the band’s F.J. DeSanto, “but when we finally got our shit together, it became clear that those challenges galvanized us and made us eager to dive into uncharted territory. That unity and desire to shake up how we operate has resulted in what could quite possibly be the best album we have ever made.”
“Escaping History” is available today from Distortion Productions on CD and through all digital and streaming platforms.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
