Indianapolis Outfit The Secrecy Unveil Their Soaring Post-Punk Single “Tonight”

In a recent interview with Decibel, Boltjes (Flesher) revealed the inspiration behind the creation of the band after years toiling in the extreme metal scene: “I had been poking The Chameleons’ booking agent about doing a show in Indianapolis and finally got a bite,” he said. “Upon confirming the show, I told my friend Jeff about it…in that conversation, I jokingly said, “we should start a post-punk band so we can open for The Chameleons.” He told me he had some stuff written in that vein and sent it to me, and I was blown away. The Secrecy was born.”

Their newest offering, Tonight, swirls with atmospheric textures, weaving in hints of darkwave and shoegaze, evoking echoes of The Chameleons, Type O Negative, The Teardrop Explodes, Vision Video, and The March Violets.

Tonight captures a feverish connection between two souls, their meeting crackling with urgency. Names, identities—all slip away, dissolve, become unimportant. They stand hand in hand, the present moment surging around them, throbbing with an energy untainted by past or future. Awkwardness hovers, only to melt into a shared desire that’s immediate and electric. This encounter, raw and transitory, holds no promises, no lasting ties—just the visceral thrill of being alive, unbound, and untethered. The song reminds us of the sheer pleasure of feeling, of being swept up and carried by the here and now, stripped of expectation, drenched in the freedom of the fleeting.
