Secret and Whisper (often typeset as Secret & Whisper) is a post-hardcore band from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Secret and Whisper formed after the band Stutterfly replaced their departed vocalist and decided on a new name. Their first album, Great White Whale , was released on February 12, 2008. [2] The band's first single was "XOXOXO" [3] followed by "Warrior (Southern Arrowwood)". [4] Their second album, Teenage Fantasy , was released on April 6, 2010.
The band, consisting of five members, was called Stutterfly until a key member, Chris Stickney, decided to leave shortly after they were dropped from Maverick Records. Stickney soon moved to a band called Oceans Apart. [5] The rest of the band, Bradyn Byron, Jason Ciolli, Jordan Chase and Ryan Loerke, approached Charles Finn (then named Charles Furney), a friend and former member of thebleedingalarm, who used to tour with them, [6] to be their new lead singer. The new line-up became Secret and Whisper on February 24, 2007. They decided on a new band name because of the completely different sound that Charles' voice brought to the band. [1]
On September 15, 2009 in a MySpace blog, Charles announced the official departure of Bradyn Byron. The band has since recruited David Ecker as guitarist. David Ecker previously played guitar for Oceans Apart with former Stutterfly member Chris Stickney.
Teenage Fantasy's first single was "Warrior (Southern Arrowwood)". The album was released on April 6, 2010. [7] No music video was released off the album.
On February 4, 2011, they released B-Side track "Pixie" on myspace.
On July 12, 2011, via Facebook note the band announced going on an indefinite hiatus. [8]
Members of Secret & Whisper Jordan Chase, Ryan Loerke and David Ecker formed the band Shreddy Krueger with Chase taking over vocals duty.
In 2017-2018 Secret & Whisper posted a bunch photos on Facebook hinting reunion and some work in studio, but there were no reunion announcement and no news about their activity as a band later on.
On February 12, 2022, the 14-year anniversary of Great White Whale, Ryan Loerke stated on his Instagram post that Secret and Whisper started practicing together again with intentions to play shows and write new material. [9] A day later, the band revived an official band page on Instagram, where James Tyler Johnson (previously of Cry of the Afflicted) was mentioned to have taken guitar duties replacing previous band member David Ecker.
