"This singer/songwriter band has what it takes to create a modern and appealing track. The professionalism Stroud portrays through their music shows the sincerity they have for their art. By using Jack Johnson-esque guitar riffs and melodies, overlapped by his deep soulful voice he is able to create an interesting fresh sound, unlike much of what the main stream
has heard."
--Elizabeth O'Brien (Tinderbox Music)
" songwriting is amazing."

Without a Whisper is a dark-edged power group on the rise. Fans and scouts flock to see their harcore, energy-packed live shows.Without a Whisper got its start in early 2005 as a four piece hard rock band. The group played a handful of shows before undergoing a much needed lineup change, that has now formed into the much needed breath of fresh air for the Midwest Music scene. Lead guitarist Aaron Straub and bassist John Burnett chose Pamela Thompson to fill the lead vocalist position. Pamela came into the group fresh off of winning first place in the Starlight Charity Ball competition (judged by Paula Abdul) by beating 50 of Arkansas best female performers. Pamela was the blessing that the band had been seeking for so long.
In 2005, Without a Whisper had four out of five songs from their June 2005 released EP already regularly featured on numerous state wide commercial radio stations, including Hot Mix 101.9 (KMXF) and New Rock 104.9 the X (KXNA). Look for their full length debut album "Caught In the Fire" Summer 2006!!
Without a Whisper performs throughout the states of Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. The group was recently chosen to open for national acts Cherry Monroe (Universal Records) and Frickin A (Toucan Cove), The Myriad (Floodgate Records) and Revelation Theory!
