SECOS, an independent alt-rock band from Las Vegas, has made impressive strides in their musical career since their formation during the COVID lockdown in late 2020. They performed at the prestigious 2022 Life Is Beautiful Festival, captivated audiences with a standout session on Jam in the Van, and opened for Keanu Reeves' band, Dogstar, at Brooklyn Bowl. Their music has also been featured during Las Vegas Golden Knights games at the T-Mobile Arena, bringing their unique sound to a wider audience. A notable highlight is their first-ever Spanish song, "Rendido a tus Pies," which has garnered over 100k views on YouTube and resonated strongly with the Mexican American community.
SECOS blends their sound with influences from Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, and Arctic Monkeys. Their music explores love, desire, and introspection themes, reflecting their life experiences. The band consists of Vocalist/Guitarist David Candelas, Guitarist Jose Becerra, Bassist Sergio Ramirez, and Drummer/Back Up Vocalist Joshua Loeza.
Their achievements and distinct style make SECOS a rising force. Drawing from their diverse influences and the dynamic spirit of Las Vegas, they continue to create music that resonates widely.
“The band’s name connects the Spanish word secos (“dry”) to the musicians’ Hispanic heritage, Vegas’ desert environment, and the idea of “echoing our sound throughout the Valley,”

“A scrappy four-piece cranking out alt-rock in the vein of Arctic Monkeys and Interpol from a garage-based home studio.”
“You guys are on the same path as Imagine Dragons right now.”

“We know one day very soon they will be one of the big names.”

“Fresh off a sold-out show with Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar”
- Kim Wagner, KSNV News 3 Las Vegas
“Remember that too-cool-to-care sound of the early 2000s, brought to you by The Strokes and Interpol? Secos delivers that New York sound to the desert with songs that are upbeat and playful, but also mature and assured.”
