"Secret Connection are so delightfully energetic that it’s impossible not to like them... The Agony Of Lhermitte is fifteen minutes of frantic, guitar based indie-pop, and boy is it enjoyable... To put it bluntly, [they] have a genuine talent for writing insanely catchy, no strings attached, upbeat indie-pop tracks."
~ Crack In The Road (UK)
"The Agony of Lhermitte recalls hints of Destroyer, New Pornographers, Built to Spill and Superchunk with bright, angular guitars and up tempo grooves... When music makes you instantly want to dance the first time you hear it, without knowing who the heck the band is, that’s a good sign that you’re onto something good."
~ The Scope (NL/CAN)
"[Secret Connection] dropped their debut EP and we couldn’t be more happy with the results – four songs filled with so much musical goodness, you’ll be dancing in and out of your seat."
~ The Indie Machine (TOR/CAN)
"Imagine if Brett Anderson [from Suede] could sing with The Killers and you’ll get what this song is about. Listen to this band now, cause with theses kinds of songs (made for stadiums), they won’t stay indie for long…"
~ The Very Best Of Indie (FRANCE)
