Guitar driven indie rockers Errol J.M and the Trade Secrets emerged from the Australian blue-collar port city of Newcastle in late 2005. Their first single Zeros and Ones enjoyed instant success, receiving high-level national airplay, and a place amongst Australia's best independent releases for 2006 on Triple J's annual Home and Hosed Australian music compilation CD. In addition to the release of the band's 2009 self-titled LP comes a five track EP titled 'Fooling Around' featuring the single of the same name and previously unreleased b-sides and rarities.
