Tooth & Nail's Secret & Whisper to stop recording and touring

CANADIAN band Secret & Whisper, who released the album 'Great White Whale' through Tooth & Nail in 2008, have announced they are "taking a break". Read a statement, "Between early 2007 to mid 2009, we were going non-stop; between touring and recording two albums. We are officially taking a break. We don't want to be dishonest with all you wonderful people who have supported us throughout the life of SAW. To be honest, we are all unable to sustain ourselves doing what we were doing; tour, break, tour, record, tour, etc. We never got a huge push like some bands do, and we're very proud to say that we were able to keep it up this long. However, now that some of us have families to support (and some on the way), we need to re-figure out how we can continue doing this."
