The band, consisting of five members, used to be 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.[6] The rest of the band, Bradyn Byron, Jason Ciolli, Jordan Chase and Ryan Loerke, approached Charles Finn, a friend and former member of TheBleedingAlarm, who used to tour with them,[7] to be their new lead singer. The new line-up became Secret and Whisper on February 24, 2007. They decided to think of 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 a temporary guitarist. David Ecker previously played guitar for Oceans Apart with former Stutterfly member Chris Stickney.[8]
As of the departure of Bradyn Byron from Secret & Whisper, Jordan Chase is the only remaining founding member of Stutterfly.
The band has mentioned a new website with the release of the new album 'Teenage Fantasy', a music video for one of the songs, and a video update on many occasions but have yet to produce on any of these. Teenage Fantasy's first single was "Warrior (Southern Arrowwood)". The album was released on April 6, 2010.[9]
On November 25, strikegently.com reported that Charles had been recruited to fill Cove Reber's abandoned vocalist spot in Saosin.[10] One day later, on November 26, Saosin themselves denied these claims on their Facebook page:
Thanks for the update from strike gently But, unfortunately, we DO NOT have a new singer yet, and its not Chris [sic] from Secret & Whisper. INFORMATION POLLUTION! Stick to the squirt videos, homeboy - SAOSIN[11]
On February 4, 2011, they released B-Side track on Myspace titled "Pixie".[12]
It was announced on July 12, 2011 via Facebook note that the band was going on a hiatus.[13]
Members Jordan Chase, Ryan Loerke and David Ecker have since gone on to form the band Shreddy Krueger.
