One thing that drew me to their music was how musical it was.
Coming from a family of classical musicians, we appreciate a good harmony.
We appreciate a good, unusual melody.
We appreciate a good, unusual chord progression.
And when, like, all of their songs have three-part harmony, yes, please.

I remember hearing Misery Fell at the Mount Pleasant show in 2008 before it was released and thinking, I've heard this before.
Which is, I'm sure, not an original opinion, an unusual opinion.
But it was something, I don't know, Tally Hall was something that sort of drew me and my dad closer together because of his connection with them.
And I felt proud being, like, a young person now.
You know, I was still a teenager.
I was like 18, 19 years old, who was like really obsessively into a band.

Yes.
And that's just a

Yeah.
Um, and his favorite song of theirs from, um, good, good and evil was sacred beast.
