History

Biography

The Hush Sound was founded by Greta Salpeter and Bob Morris. The two met when Greta was in 7th grade and while 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.

The band officially formed in late 2004/early 2005, in terms of writing songs which it felt worthy of publication. It was originally going to be called "The Hush," but changed its name to "The Hush Sound" to avoid confusion with a similarly-named rapper. In their early work, the band dealt mostly with acoustic music. Once the band decided that a piano and guitar were not enough for the sound it wished to achieve, The band members started searching for a drummer and a bass player willing to join their band. They soon recruited drummer Darren Wilson and bassist Chris Faller who had played in a previous band together, Until Sundown.

By the end of March of 2005, The Hush Sound took its 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.
