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]
OSA was the first band to perform in Black Cab Sessions's the Secret Garden Party Sessions in July 2009.[citation needed]
Former bassist Lawrence James Diamond is the son of singer/songwriter Jim Diamond
