Vancouver’s Whitfield recently completed their new album entitled “Well Behaved & Working For You”. The album was recorded over 2 intense weeks with producers The Glitter Twins at Oregon City’s Supernatural Sound, one of the most reputable studios in the North West. A handful of advance copies generated extraordinary reviews and interest in the group, and the CD release event was sold-out before the band hit the stage.
In the last few months, Whitfield has won ‘Best Pop/Rock Song’ at the 2006 Independent Music Awards (International), ‘Best of The Fest’ award at NewMusicWest 2006, ‘Peoples Choice’ award at Toronto Indie Week, and the ‘Best Alternative Group’ at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. The band also supported British multi-platinum group Athlete last year at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.
Originally from the UK, singer Jobie Mallett united with drummer Sam Bastedo and bassist Josh McCulloch in Kamloops, BC. The trio then relocated to Vancouver where they found guitarist Jordan Irwin to complete the lineup. Since moving to Vancouver two years ago, Whitfield has exploded from modest beginnings into an act of international calibre.
