Secret & Whisper

After vocalist Chris Stickney exited the long-running Canadian outfit Stutterfly, the remaining members joined forces with Charles Furney—previously frontman for fellow Canadians the Bleeding Alarm—to continue their demo experiments. The striking sonic contrast introduced by this new voice prompted the ensemble to retire their former identity, giving rise to Secret and Whisper in February 2007. Bradyn Byron (guitar), Jordan Chase (bass), Jason Ciolli (drums), and Furney, encouraged by the outcome of their Vanishings demo, committed to tracking their first album, Great White Whale, which appeared in 2008. They returned in 2010 with Teenage Fantasy on the Tooth & Nail label.
