Secret World – “It Hurts”

We've already got a new Drug Church song today, and now we've also got another song from one of the many other bands playing around in that same tough, bracing, hardcore-adjacent alt-rock space. Secret World come from Sydney, and their members are Australian hardcore veterans from bands like Speed, Trophy Eyes, and Downside. They're very good at making big, punchy, melodic rippers, as they show on their new single.

Secret World haven't released an album yet, but they've got a lot of music out there. They formed and released their demo in 2023, and they followed it with two EPs, 2024's Guilt Is Good and last year's Tomorrow Is A Mystery To Me. Their new song "It Hurts" is a pounding, passionate rocker about struggling internally. Jack Rudder and Ryan Pond directed the song's video. Check it out below.

"It Hurts" is out now on Last Ride.
