Biography

Most of the members of the alternative pop/rock outfit the Working Title were originally friends from high school days in Charleston, SC. Playing in various bands around town, it wasn't until 2001 that the four friends came together as one cohesive unit to create introspective indie rock that, while sonically similar to bands like Switchfoot, draws influence ranging from underground punk to the Counting Crows to Kid Dynamite. Within six months of forming, the band -- Joel Hamilton (vocals/guitar/piano), Adam Pavao (guitar), Chris Ginn (bass), and Ross Taylor (percussion/drums) -- self-released and self-produced their debut effort, Sincerely, and independently sold a few thousand copies around their hometown. Universal's Kevin Law took notice, and the Working Title soon became the first band signed to his Universal imprint, Cause for Alarm. The seven-song Everyone Here Is Wrong EP was issued in late 2003, and the band's subsequent tour schedule included shows with Mae, mewithoutYou, Switchfoot, and Our Lady Peace, along with various Warped Tour dates. Their debut record, About-Face, appeared in summer 2006, as the guys opened a month of shows on the Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows' joint tour. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

The Working Title formed in 2001 and released their first E.P. "Everyone Here Is Wrong" in 2003. The EP was rated 5 out of 5 in Alternative Press Magazine and they also labeled The Working Title, A Band To Watch. The band's next LP, About Face, was released July 18, 2006. On October 6, 2005, The Working Title began the "The Music Is Much Too Loud Tour" with Circa Survive, Mae, and Mute Math as an opening act. The band has also been on tour with bands such as mewithoutyou, Copeland, Vedera, As Tall as Lions, Counting Crows, Our Lady Peace and the Goo Goo Dolls.

They have become one of the most requested bands on the Sirius Satellite network.[citation needed] They have also had their music featured on MTV's Laguna Beach and the film American Wedding.

In late 2006 Chris Ginn, the band's bassist and a founding member, announced that he would be leaving the group to pursue a career in teaching. He currently attends the College of Charleston, and was replaced by Chris Gingrich.

In 2003 Damien J. Buttel, the band's guitarist and a founding member, parted ways with the group. He can be heard on the band's self-produced "Sincerely" album (2002) and half of "Everyone Here is Wrong" (2003).

May 9th 2009 saw the release of The Working Title's third album, Bone Island. In a review done by AbsolutePunk, Bone Island was described as "a welcome, breath of fresh air".
