Chicago, United States
The Hush Sound (currently on an indefinite hiatus) is a pop quartet from Chicago, Illinois. Initially named “The Hush,” the band changed their name to “The Hush Sound” when Geffen Records objected that their name was too similar to rapper Hush. The band consists of Bob Morris on vocals and guitar, Mike Leblanc on bass and vocals, Darren Wilson on drums and vocals, and Greta Salpeter on vocals and piano. Original bassist Chris Faller left the band in October 2008 in order to pursue other musical interests and was replaced by Mike LeBlanc, who had toured with them previously on their “Dance Across the Country Tour”.
In 2005 the band released their first studio album So Sudden. Their second studio album, Like Vines, was released in 2006 on Fueled by Ramen.
The Hush Sound was founded by Greta Salpeter and Bob Morris. The two met when Greta was in 7th grade and Bob was in 10th. In the eyes of many of their peers, Bob and Greta were deemed an “odd couple.” Bob had always been a player and performer of rock music, whereas Greta was a classical pianist.
By the end of March of 2005, The Hush Sound took their music into the studio to record their debut full-length album. The studio was the Gallery of Carpet located in Villa Park, IL run by owner Brian Zieske. They named it “So Sudden”—a reflection on how quickly things were moving for the band. They released their first album with no label support at the time, but nevertheless sold 300 CDs in two nights.

I've known about and loved THS from the time they signed to Pete's label to the time they played their last show last december. I've seen them ten times, met them almost every time, and am still upset they called it quits. Goodbye Blues was THE album for them, it was them finally discovering their sound. Gold Motel and Stamps are okay, but The Hush Sound had substance. It had depth. By GB they had perfected their sound and were well on their way to becoming icons. I can only hope that one day, they'll get back together and make more music. I miss them terribly.

They have (had) a beautiful sound, and Greta has a gorgeous voice. Bob's voice is nice as well. I wish I could have seen them before their hiatus.
