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!

Disc Jockeys who have heard the cd have been impressed but most play-lists re corporately controlled and this is a local band. One Norman Talk show host has been playing some cuts from the CD and Al Escbach plays the Beer Song from time to time but that's about it. . Just recently the band is being noticed in the US. They have been featured on Twang Town USA out of Nashville, Nitewolf Radio in Wisconsin and Music Spotlight in California. The cd has received rave reviews from Linda Fryer, BMI and songwriter, Downeast Records and Deborah Minters, Australia.
"It is amazing how hard it is to get something played if you are not with a big label." The songs are solid and there are more in the box waiting to be released. Cuts from the CD go over so well with live crowds that one local bar has said that Straight Shooter is the most played CD on the juke box.
It all got started when the band played a few cuts written by singer / songwriter Bud at a live gig last year Three different people the band had never met offered to pay for the studio time if they would record their music. One song " the Beer Song" a story about a group of guys who just came to drink beer is a particular favorite.
"We have done interviews with radio stations playing our stuff all over Europe but we are basically unknown here in the US. "The Oklahoma Country Music Association has asked them to be their house band too and want them to back up other talented Oklahoma bands. "Some of us have played with or behind some big name people so it should come as no surprise that we can play". At a recent concert in Noble for around
2000 people the band played 5 songs not even on their play list including one, they had never done before.
In the near future the band intends to keep gigging and they have been approached about doing a European tour. In 2006 they will be releasing their new cd "Shake Your Country". We would like to pick up some gigs as a warm up act for some bigger acts. That way we could get the exposure we need to attract a CD deal with a major label. In the meantime we are writing new stuff and staying busy. We all have careers during the day but our real love is music. "
