Said The Whale is a Canadian indie rock band hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, that has earned a reputation for crafting textured, melody-rich pop songs since their formation in 2007. The band was originally started by founding members Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft, who were later joined by bassist Nathan Shaw, keyboardist Jaycelyn Brown, and drummer Braden MacLeod, solidifying the group's vibrant sound. Over the years, the lineup has evolved, but the band's commitment to intimate storytelling and harmonic excellence has remained a constant.

Celebrated for their exuberant live shows and thoughtful lyrics, Said The Whale quickly gained recognition with early works like "Islands Disappear" and has since continued to produce a consistent stream of engaging indie music. Navigating themes from personal growth to environmental awareness, their discography now includes robust offerings such as the contemplative "Cascadia" (2019) and its deluxe version, alongside their 10th-anniversary edition of "Islands Disappear." 2021 marked a creative spurt for the band with releases like "Honey Lungs" and its illuminati hotties remix, the reflective "Everything She Touches Is Gold to Me," and the playful "99 to the Moon," showcasing their dynamic range. Through albums such as "Dandelion" and its deluxe edition, and singles like "Never Grow Up," Said The Whale continues to explore new musical territories, earning them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim across Canada and beyond.
