Secret and Whisper is a rock band from Canada, many of whose members were originally in a band named Stutterfly. The band has been officially named Secret and Whisper as of February 24, 2007. The lead singer of Stutterfly, Chris Stickney, decided to leave the band shortly after being dropped from Maverick Records to go live a "normal life". After this the rest of the band went on a search to find a new singer to take his place.
Soon after Chris left Stutterfly, the band met up with Charles Furney, lead singer of thebleedingalarm, a band Stutterfly formerly toured with. With news that Charles recently decided to leave thebleedingalarm they decided to try and record a demo. Once the demo "Vanishings" was made they all agreed to have Charles as their new singer. They decided to think of a new band name because of the completely different sound that Charles' voice brought to the band.

[edit] History
At the end of April 2006, in San Antonio, Texas, Charles parted ways with his old band.[citation needed] The band had stopped writing music, to focus on different goals. Needing a change, Charles decided to return to his hometown, Kelowna.
In Kelowna, Jordan, Ryan, Jason, and Bradyn were in an equally difficult situation. Their very successful band Stutterfly had hit a wall with news that their singer wanted to retire from the band. Not exactly knowing what to do next, the band decided to keep recording new demos and started searching for a new singer.
Equally disappointed with their situations, Charles, Jordan, Bradyn, Ryan, and Jason later remet and decided to create a side project called Little Black Rain Cloud. While getting together to lay some keyboard drums on Jordans new digital recorder, Jordan had the thought of Charles trying out for Stutterfly. To convince the rest of the band of the idea, Charles and Jordan put together a song based on a demo that Stutterfly had been writing musically. This ended up becoming the song "Vanishings". The band asked Charles to join.
The new band started working on music for themselves. As Jason so eloquently put it, "this opportunity has been given to us to make music that we love."[citation needed]
The band that had been Stutterfly for 9 years was very different from the new band they had become. The band knew that this new, important project, deserved its own name.
