Official Secrets Act (OSA) was a pop-rock band from London, England. Thomas Burke, Alexander Mackenzie, and Lawrence Diamond formed a band at Leeds University after bonding over an interest in British military history. Michael Evans joined after catching one of their early gigs.[1] [2]
The band has drawn inspiration from both British and American guitar-based bands, such as Talking Heads, Futureheads and Blur.[3]
