A Breath Through the Ashes is now available at Encore Records in Kitchener.


Monday, August 21, 2006
FYI, half of the tracks on A Breath Through the Ashes can be sampled via the MySpace page: www.myspace.com/fervidwhisper


Thursday, July 20, 2006
A Breath Through the Ashes is complete will be available on Friday and beyond for $10!


Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Our 8-track album A Breath Through the Ashes is being mastered over the weekend, and we hope to have it out for Friday, July 21, 2006. The tracks will be: Silent Sodomy, Ode to Spoon, Peter, Upon Your Shoulders, Infinite, Untitled 17, Hangovers in Schizophrenia, and Oryx.

(Yes, this is real!)

Wednesday, May 31, 2006
So Sasha, Ethan, Guns and I aren't actually dead. The album continues to exist in its perpetually nearly-complete state. We'll get it out there. Probably. Eventually. It sounds nice... honest.

I may update the MySpace page with a new song.

Wednesday, September 21, 2005
Hair continues to be chopped off, and progress on the album continues to be made, but I don't even know if it's worth mentioning since you probably don't believe me. :)

Ode to Spoon (new recording) is up on PureVolume though, and will be up on MySpace soon enough (still unmastered though).

Monday, June 20, 2005
We have two new Fervid Whisper resources:

www.myspace.com/fervidwhisper

www.purevolume.com/fervidwhisper (coming soon)

There you shall find a preview of the upcoming album.

Friday, June 17, 2005
The CD remains in its almost-done state. Unfortunately, school started for me, and thus most of my time is taken up with either doing school work or recovering from doing school work.

We've been playing a number of shows in the meantime though. They have been fun. I have a new Strat. It is fun. Sasha has a new POD XT Live. I assume it is also fun.

Monday, March 21, 2005
Honestly, we're almost done the CD!

Wednesday, March 9, 2005
Mixing is moving quickly along now that I know what I'm doing. The two hardest songs are saved for the end though. We are also in the process of designing the artwork. So things are definitely happening, they're just behind the scenes.

Friday, February 25, 2005
Mixing goes well. Everything is a learning process, and it is quite difficult, but my first few rough mixes are sounding very pleasing to the ear. I have a midterm in a few days, but after that, I expect the rest of the songs to get done fairly quickly. I suppose we should get thinking about album artwork.

Friday, February 11, 2005
Thanks to all who attended the show last night. It was a good time.

I'm very jealous of:
(a) Knock Knock Ginger's guitars
(b) Winter Equinox's talent - holy crap were they ever good

Friday, February 4, 2005
There is an article on Fervid Whisper in this week's Imprint (view article).

...and no, our album will not be called "Titties and Beer".

Monday, January 31, 2005
Bomber show coming up on Thurs. Feb. 10! Should be awesome. Check out the details, and take special note of the sign-in policy for non-UW students (it's an annoying policy, we know, but it's not something we can do anything about since this is an official UW Clubs event).


Sunday, January 23, 2005
The SLC show last night was actually quite awesome. We've never seen a crowd like that at any of the shows we've played in the Great Hall. People seemed to dig us. It was also awesome to play with Vacuity again; the last time we played with them was way back in 2002.

Friday, January 21, 2005
We made some progress on the album yesterday. We are now done analyzing all the vocal takes and picking the best ones. They are sounding pleasant.

If you're bored tomorrow night, come see us in the SLC at UW (info). It's free + open to everyone.

Thursday, January 13, 2005
We are in fact active and there are in fact shows coming up: Jan. 22 and Feb. 10 (bigger one). It would be great to see you all there.

As for the CD, mixing is the current stage.

Thursday, December 9, 2004
R.I.P. Dimebag

Tuesday, November 30, 2004
We are mostly finished tracking for our CD. The vocal sessions went pretty well. Mixing will commence in January, and let's cross our fingers for a March 2005 release date. Note that we do have a show coming up on Thursday, February 10, 2005, so we be out of hiding fairly soon.

Thursday, November 11, 2004
Vocals are being recorded this week. Things are happening... slowly.

Monday, October 11, 2004


Thursday, September 2, 2004
My brother took a video of Studio Spoon with his digital camera. You can check it out by clicking here.

Recording goes well. Sasha's done all his guitars, I've got two songs to go, and Ethan just started, but we got two songs done in the first day.

Wednesday, August 25, 2004
There's a show at Kitchener City Hall this Friday where they'll have the new Kitchener Domination sampler. Our CKMS recording of Ode to Spoon is on there. It's too bad we had to use that one since our current new recording is much better, but hey, it's something.

Monday, August 23, 2004
Hey all. Recording goes well. Sasha's almost done his guitars. Mine are coming along.

I've updated the shows page with as many names of bands we've played with in past shows as I could remember off the top of my head.

Friday, August 13, 2004
We're all still alive and well. Not too many updates recently, since we've been recording for the CD in Studio Spoon a.k.a. my basement. Guitars are sounding good - Sasha's stuff is moving along quickly. He's done about half his guitars now. I'll likely be finished all my clean parts by next week, and will start working on the distorted parts when my MetalZone comes back to me from Oklahoma, where I sent it to get modded by Robert Keeley (www.rkfx.com). I don't think anyone will be disappointed in these recordings - everything is rocking hard so far.


Monday, July 26, 2004
As of yesterday, we are finished recording drums! The session went very well - Guns was definitely on his game. Then end of Oryx sounds really really good. :)

We'll likely start with the guitars next Saturday. They'll probably be a lot more time consuming to record, since we plan to be picky.

Tuesday, July 20, 2004
The first proper recording sessions since 2002 begin on Sunday! We'll be laying down some drum tracks at Sound on Sound. It's got us pretty excited. We plan on recording every Fervid Whisper song going right now, possibly including a brand new one that has yet to have a live debut.

Sunday, July 18, 2004
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the Lanc this past Friday. Your compliments were appreciated. Thanks also to Mr. Bryan for videotaping much of the show.

Thursday, July 15, 2004
The next FW show is tomorrow! We currently don't have any other shows scheduled (although that could easily change). It's just $5 for 5 bands, so can't go wrong there.

We'll likely start recording in the near future. All our current recordings are a bit dated and so we'll get all our songs recorded and release the ones that turn out well on a CD of some sort.

Sunday, July 4, 2004
Many thanks to Ophelia's Mask for having us play at their final show / CD release party. OM was fantastic, and as great it was to hear them play their last notes, it was certainly a sad moment knowing that I wouldn't watch them do it again.

Thanks to Dave for videotaping the set.

Thanks to Meghan for showcasing her sandwich artistry and providing nourishment, allowing us to rock on full stomachs.

Thanks to all who came to the show.

Tuesday, June 29, 2004
Full details for the LAST OPHELIA'S MASK SHOW EVER on Saturday are up here. Make sure you come out to this one... OM is amazing.


Monday, June 21, 2004
Just confirmed that the show this Thursday is free, so now no one has an excuse not to come. :)


Thursday, June 17, 2004
One week 'till our show at the Circus Room! Stratford's Drive by Satellite and Guelph's Sandcastle Theory are also on the bill. It'll be a good variety of music, so hope to see you all there!


Thursday, June 10, 2004
Thanks to everyone who attended the Studio Virgins CD Release Party. It was cool to be on the stage of my favourite venue in town. Also, thanks to everyone at CKMS who worked on getting the CD together and putting on the show.


Monday, June 7, 2004
All the details for Wednesday's Starlight show are up. Hope to see you all there... I mean, c'mon, it's only $2. ;-)


Tuesday, May 18, 2004
We have another new show with Antagonize listed and some more details for the Drive by Satellite show. Details here.


Tuesday, May 11, 2004
Two shows are coming up in June. One for the Studio Virgins CD release (finally!) and one show at the Circus Room with Drive by Satellite. Details will be here eventually.


Monday, April 26, 2004
We now have some pictures up from the Koppers show, courtesy of Arijana. This was likely Arijana's last FW show; we wish her well as she moves back to Bosnia and thank her for being our #1 fan!


Sunday, April 18, 2004
Thanks to all who came to see us at Koppers last night. It was a fun show. Ablaze and Antagonize rocked. Thanks to Antagonize for organizing it all.


Wednesday, March 31, 2004
T-Guns now has upgraded his kit to a Pearl from a Westbury, making Fervid Whisper's overall transition from crappy beginner gear to proper useful gear basically complete. (Sasha had an upgrade recently with the purchase of his new sweet Godin electric. I still use the first electric guitar I bought, but it's actually somewhat nice, so it doesn't fall under 'crappy beginner gear'; someday I'll go get myself a real Les Paul or something of the like).


Monday, March 29, 2004
There's a show with Antagonize and Ablaze coming up on April 17. It's free and all ages - what more could you ask for? Details here.


Friday, March 19, 2004
The Bomber show was cool. Thanks to all our friends that came, and to a great audience, and to the organizers.


Wednesday, March 17, 2004
We now have all the details for tomorrow's FREE show here.


Friday, March 12, 2004
We're playing at some sort of auction at the Bombshelter at UW on March 18. Details here.


Tuesday, February 24, 2004
Show at The Still coming up... details here.


Sunday, February 22, 2004
Mike took some very cool black and white pictures at the Circus Room show. Check 'em out here.


Sunday, February 15, 2004
The show with Distopia was awesome. Definitely hope to play with them again in the future. Thanks to all who came out.


Sunday, February 8, 2004
So we're back from Welland. It was a fun night, although we played a mediocre set. We'll be on familiar territory next Saturday at the Circus Room opening for Distopia, so we can and will rock harder, so you all should come check that out.


Sunday, February 1, 2004
Sasha's written some lyrics for Untitled 8, now titled Oryx. Check 'em out on the Lyrics page.


Monday, January 12, 2004
Antagonize (guys setting up our April 3 show) are now looking for a drummer. If you're a drummer, you need a band, and you rock, then check 'em out: www.oocities.org/antagonizeband


Sunday, January 11, 2004
There's a show coming up in Welland on Feburary 7. Details here.

My other band, Jam Night Regulars, has a brand new website up. Check it out:  www.jamnightregulars.com


Sunday, January 4, 2004
Thanks to all who came out to the show, and especially to all that were able to stay for our set.

We apologize to anyone who came expecting Distopia - they cancelled.

Also, sorry to all the underaged people who were kicked out. We didn't know this would happen, and I suppose we have to think about better venues for the future that will allow everyone to enjoy the show.

We thank The Dirty Love and the Hues for opening.


Friday, January 2, 2004
New pics and fan art are up! (here)

The big show is tomorrow.


Wednesday, December 31, 2003
Thanks to all who came out to the party last night. It was a good time. You guys should all come to the show on Saturday! (click here for details)


Tuesday, December 30, 2003
House party show tonight with The Silent Film Sountrack. Circus Room show on Saturday with Distopia, The Dirty Love, and Humongous Fungus. It would be cool to see some friendly faces at both shows. (click here for details)


Friday, December 12, 2003
There's a headlining show coming up on Jan. 3! We're excited about this one - we've got some cool new tunes to play for you all. Hope to see everyone there. (Details will be up shortly here).


Tuesday, November 18, 2003
There are now lyrics (yet no title!) for Untitled 17. Check 'em out.

Help Locate a Stolen Guitar

Our buddy Casey from Ophelia's Mask just had his guitar stolen. Keep your eyes peeled for it. The following is taken from his post on our message board:

if anyone happens to see my guitar (be that in a pawn shop, guitar store, anything) please tell me. today some asshole (that's right i said it) broke into ryan's house, where OM practises, and stole only my guitar. description:

fender standard stratocaster, made im mexico
deep red/purple body colour
black pickguard
3 single-coil pickups
all 3 knobs say "volume" on them
maple neck/fretboard

thank you very much, anything at all that may relate to this is muchly appreciated.

my email is caseyirvin@hotmail.com

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the guitar turns up.


Wednesday, October 15, 2003
Yes, we are playing the Famine Freedom Concert tomorrow, and no, we don't know when we're playing. They've basically given us no details, so we'll show up and see what happens. To see what we know, click here. I think our set will be 20 min - 30 min.


Wednesday, September 24, 2003
Thanks to all our friends who came out to the show tonight; it was so cool to see so many of you guys show up. And it was also great to have a few new faces watching us. Shows are fun. :-)


Wednesday, September 17, 2003
We're playing a show in the SLC at UW on Wednesday, September 24 (that's next week). Fervid Whisper (I'm pretty sure) is playing first and will play for about 40 minutes, so come check it out; the Bomber's right there, so you can go get some beers at the Bomber's busy night right after. :-)

All the details here.

Saturday, August 30, 2003
Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night; you guys made this show a huge success for us. It was great to see that we still have people coming out to support us.

Also, a big thanks to our buddies in Ophelia's Mask and Astralcar for playing with us; I think they're two of the best bands in town, and you'd have difficulty convincing me otherwise. :-)


Thursday, August 28, 2003
The big show is tomorrow! We'll have some cool new low-budget "Fervid Whisper - Live Off the Floor" EPs for sale for $2. Hope to see you all there.


Sunday, August 10, 2003
We've got a Circus Room show coming up on Friday, August 29, and we've got Ophelia's Mask and Astralcar on the bill. It should be a great show, and for only $2, you have no excuse not to come. :-) (click here for more info)


Thursday, July 24, 2003
THE AUGUST 16 SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED/POSTPONED.

The Circus Room double-booked and offered us a later date; we'll see if the later date works.


Wednesday, July 16, 2003
We're putting on a show on August 16 at the Circus Room. Click here for more info.


Wednesday, July 2, 2003
Pics from the Stampede Corral show are up now (click here). Thank you Arijana for taking and scanning 'em.


Monday, June 30, 2003
People seemed to enjoy our set last night. I suppose it was alright for having awful monitors that weren't even turned on the first song, guitars that wouldn't stay in tune, and the general amateur vibe of a Supernova gig. Don't worry; we'll put on a real show for everyone sometime.

Lots of good bands were playing though. My personal favourites for the night were Disgust and Kenghk.


Wednesday, June 25, 2003
Brand New Fervid Whisper MP3s!

You can now go to mp3.com/fervidwhisper and listen to recordings of:

The Darkest Skies
Ode to Spoon
August in the Rain

These recordings are live-off-the-floor from the studio at CKMS. (Read about it in the June 19-25 Echo - click here.)

We hope you enjoy our new music.

If you want to see us play these songs for yourself, come to the show in Kitchener on Sunday! (click here for details)


Wednesday, June 18, 2003
I was told that you'll be able to hear Fervid whisper's CKMS studio session on CKMS 100.3 Radio Waterloo tomorrow (Thursday) morning sometime between 8:30 and 10:00. CKMS has a pretty weak signal, but you can also listen online. Just go to the CKMS link on our Links page and you'll be able to find a link to streaming audio of the station.

The songs should be up at MP3.com sometime within the next couple weeks.


Thursday, June 12, 2003
Just got back from the CKMS building. We're all excited about the 3 songs we just recorded (all live off the floor). Turns out that being chosen to record WAS the prize for the contest, so we were already one of the winners. lol Can't argue with a free 3-song demo. We can't wait for you guys to hear these recordings (The Darkiest Skies is coming!). We'll only receive the mastered copy in a few weeks though, so there's a bit of a wait.

Don't forget to buy your tix for the June 29 show at the Stampede Corral! (click here for more info)


Saturday, June 7, 2003
Finally! A show! Sunday, June 29 in Kitchener at the Stampede Corral. More info here. Come check out the debut of T-Guns, our new drummer.

In other news, we record for the CKMS contest Thursday night. We'll let you guys know how that goes.


Sunday, June 1, 2003
We're entering a competition CKMS (the University of Waterloo radio station) is doing. Four bands head over to the CKMS studio and record a set, and they pick a winner. Wish us luck!

Some new lyrics up too.

We're looking into setting up a show; there have been some unexpected hurdles. We're trying to get out and play ASAP.


Saturday, May 10, 2003
The Acoustic Warehouse last night was cool; lots of great acts, and a great audience. Thanks to Tessa for once again doing her djembe thing with us, and for lending me her beautiful guitar for our set, and also to Sybling Rivalry for setting up the show.


Tuesday, April 29, 2003
Sybling Rivalry's Acoustic Warehouse II is coming Friday, May 9, and Fervid Whisper, along with a long list of other great acts, will be playing. Percussion will be provided by Tessa with her djembe, which is always a plus for our acoustic sets. More details, as always, in the Shows section.


Sunday, April 6, 2003
We welcome Thomas Guns, formerly of humdrumm (www.mp3.com/humdrumm), to Fervid Whisper.


Saturday, March 29, 2003
The show last night was a lot of fun. Many thanks to Tessa for inviting us to play and rockin' out with us on her djembe. And a big 'thank you' to all our friends who showed up. You're all great. :-)


Sunday, March 9, 2003
There's some Fan Art up in our Pics section! Check out Fervid Whisper is stickman form! [click here]


Sunday, March 9, 2003
Show coming up this month (Friday, March 28); Fervid Whisper will be opening for the Tessa Hoffman Band. Be sure to come check it out. The proceeds are going to the K-W Food Bank, which is cool. As always, details will be available in the Shows section as I get them.


Wednesday, March 5, 2003
Fervid Whisper now has an MP3.com site. Check it out here.


Tuesday, March 4, 2003
Pictures from the Fervid Whisper set at Ye Olde Rock Show are now up for your viewing pleasure.


Sunday, March 2, 2003
The show last night was a lot of fun. Thanks to all the bands for the great music, and to all who came to see for making the show a success. We have to put on shows like this more often. :-)


Thursday, February 20, 2003
Fervid Whisper presents Ye Olde Rock Show. March 1, Button Factory, details here.


Sunday, February 9, 2003
The first real Fervid Whisper show of 2003 is coming up! Keep March 1 on your calendars free (we're 99% sure about this date). It'll be at the Button Factory. So far Ophelia's Mask, Astralcar, Rizen Underground and Sybling Rivalry have confirmed that they're participating.


Wednesday, February 5, 2003
We're playing a coffee house at UW on Saturday. Click here for info.


Saturday, February 1, 2003
For an escape from the typical crap you hear on the radio, you can listen to a show our buddy Courtney does (called "The Inside Scoop"), on Thursdays from 8 - 11 PM on Niagara College's radio station.

Just go to http://www.broadcasting.niagarac.on.ca/crnc.html
and click on "Listen to 90.1 FM, The New Heat", and you're good to go (requires Quicktime for streaming audio).


Thursday, January 30, 2003
Our buddy Matt Griffin is playing a couple nights at the Walper Pub in Kitchener. The dates are February 7 and 15, and he says he'll be playing from around 9:00 PM to around 1:00 AM. He's an excellent performer, and the Walper Pub is a nice place, so go check it out.


Thursday, January 23, 2003
The UW administration has shut down the Bombshelter and Fed Hall. The Bomber closure will likely prevent The Big Chill from happening. More information on the closure is at the Federation of Students web page and uwstudent.org. The administration is being completely unreasonable. I am disgusted by the unjustified actions and lies, and embarrassed that I attend a university in which such a thing could happen.


Thursday, January 9, 2003
There's a new info page for people interested in drumming for us here.


Friday, January 3, 2003
A bunch of new lyrics are up, if anyone cares (Hangovers in Schizophrenia - my new favourite Fervid Whisper song - as well as Untitled 2 and 3).


Wednesday, December 11, 2002
Hey everyone. I thought I'd just mention that you can attribute the lack of updates to a final exam-induced 3 week hiatus for FW. Stupid finals.


Saturday, November 30, 2002
The show yesterday night went far better than we expected. The audience seemed to respond well to our music. We were the only acts the entire night touching acoustic guitars, and while we expected this would not work in our favour, perhaps it did. We were also given some extra time at the end of our set, as I think we were running ahead of schedule, so Sasha convinced us to debut our acoustic arrangement of The Darkest Skies.

We sold a number of CDs, and as a limited time offer, CDs came with a free hug from guest djembe player Tessa Hoffman (and I'm sure the offer contributed to at least a couple of those sales :-) . Tessa did an excellent job and really helped out our sound, and she will probably continue playing with us until we find a kit drummer.

Oh, and I must add, Astralcar put an amazing set, and you guys should definitely be checking them out (click here for their web site). I think they'd be our vote for the win (winners will be announced in a few days at supernova.ca). We've invited them to play with us at a show we're putting on in January.

Friday, November 29, 2002
At the show tonight, our slot is at 6:30 PM. The organizer did say that this could potentially be pushed to either 6:00 or 7:00, so we may start at those times.


Saturday, November 24, 2002
There will be a guest djembe player for the show on the 29th.
All the more reason to come out and see us!
Tickets are $10, and can be purchased from the band (email shuborno@hotmail.com
More info here.


Wednesday, November 13, 2002
We got ourselves a gig for Friday, November 29. It's this huge Battle of the Bands in Guelph (huge because there will be 12-15 bands!), so you guys should definitely try and make it out for this show. More details here, and more details are to be posted there.

Important News

Message from Sasha:
(as posted on the Message Board)

no folks... fervid whisper is not, has not, and will not be breaking up. But rumour is going around and some questioned must be answered. Why have the guys only been playing acoustic shows as of late? well the answer would be that we are short a member. Lawrence Widdifield, our former drummer is no longer with us. After playing with the good man for more than three years i must say it was a pleasure to jam so many times with such a talented musician. Tension within the band led to the decision that we best continue our musical careers, but go in seperate directions. Thank you Lawrence for all of the wonderful things that you brought to Fervid Whisper. You are a true musician and we appreciate everything you did. It was fun. Now as time goes on, and the band goes on, we will be continuing to play accoustic shows, while also auditioning for new drummers. anyone interested, or who knows of someone who is intereted, please contact me (sasha) 749 0350 or post on here


Message from Shuborno:

Drummer Wanted

As you will have read in Sasha's message above, Fervid Whisper is currently looking for a new drummer.

We are keeping our eyes and ears open, looking for a quality drummer who will fit the band, and it would be greatly appreciated if our fans could do the same.

For anyone interested, or if you're reading this and know someone who you think would be interested and has what it takes, then do not hesitate to let us know. We would prefer to start working on getting back out there and playing full-band shows sooner than later.

Please direct all communciation about this matter to:

shuborno@hotmail.com; or

directly contact Sasha (phone number given in his message above), Shuborno, Ethan or Jake

Fervid Whisper is hiring. Spread the word.


Sunday, October 13, 2002
I just put pictures up from the show last night. Thanks to Angie for taking most of 'em; I think she took some nice shots.


Sunday, October 13, 2002
The Acoustic Warehouse went wonderfully last night. There were impressive sets from all acts. A big thank you to Sybling Rivalry for inviting us to play. It was very refreshing to play a bunch of songs with acoustic arrangements (to an audience that would enjoy them).
