Fusing the band members' individual loves for many artists from Counting Crows to the likes of Kid Dynamite and a slew of other musical genres, The Working Title formed in 2001. With three-fourths of the group having attended high school together in Charleston, South Carolina, they had each logged time in other outfits, but it wasn't until they started playing with one another that things clicked. Within six months of forming, the band cut its first independent release, Sincerely, a self-released, self-produced collection of songs full of themes of life and death, and inspired by family, friends, and relationships. The band signed with Universal and entered into the studio in 2003 to track the seven-song EP Everyone Here is Wrong. The EP was rated 5 out of 5 in Alternative Press Magazine and they also labeled The Working Title "A Band To Watch." They have become one of the most requested bands on the Sirius Satellite network and had their music featured on the TV sensation Laguna Beach on MTV.
In July 2006 The Working Title released their major label debut 'about-face.' about-face is a collection of old and brand new songs. Three well-traveled tracks, "Something She Said," "The Mary Getaway (I Lost Everything)," and "There Is None" appear in different versions on the EP, Everyone Here is Wrong. Some were written in the studio or just before the band began tracking, such as "The Crash" and the album-ending "Turbulence."
The band has spent the better part of four years harvesting a fan base up and down the East Coast and across the country. They've performed on the Vans Warped Tour, as well as on bills with the likes of Mute Math, Mae, Switchfoot, Our Lady Peace, mewithoutyou and Counting Crows. "As a band, you're always evolving, and thats where our name stems from: The Working Title is a name that stands for something that is always in progress. When you have a working title for something, its not finished."
The Working Title released their major debut record "about-face" on Universal Records in july of 2006. After a three year relationship, the band and Universal Records amicably parted ways at the beginning of 2007.
