The collective brainchild of Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft, Said the Whale is as much a product of Vancouver's tremendous natural beauty as it is of the city's budding independent music scene.

Their unique blend of eclectic indie rock captures the essence of what it means to be young, free, and occasionally heartbroken in your early 20s. Theirs is the sound of a thousand summers spent lying under a star-filled canopy in the middle of a field. Original, incisive, and destined to set the independent music scene on fire, it is the sound of Said the Whale.
