It’s far more common for the hype surrounding an album to overshadow it than the album actually to live up to it. That is not the case for the debut release from Tooth & Nail artist Secret & Whisper titled Great White Whale. You can assume a heavy influence by Saosin but they really add their own style to create something truly amazing. This will be a top album for 08.

I happen to catch them on The North Pole Project Tour with Number One Gun and Brighten, and they really know how to put on a great show. Check out their myspace for tour details.
