Tally Hall performs Ruler of Everything at Laundromatinee.com

Tally Hall grew up, strapped their ties back on, left the tiny indie label that pushed them out of the nest, and signed on to a major label this year. The batch of songs they've been playing over the last few years, from the album Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, were re-recorded and re-mixed for their Atlantic Records re-release.
Beyond the cover songs which have also been a calling card, fan-builder and staple of their live show, the band has been playing these same songs for at least the last three to four years. Some may be hopign they are nearing the end of their life, and a new release should be on the horizon. I'm sure the band is grateful and hopeful as well. Some of the new material is starting to find its way out to the internet even.
Beyond the obvious humor and frivolity involved in their writings and recordings, this band is filled with talent and enthusiasm. Maybe it's all a little too kitchy for the band to ever end up being labeled as "great", especially at their young age, but they certainly will always fit the "clever" and "fun" categories.
Appealing to young and old alike, Tally Hall is a wholesome bunch of fun-loving musicians. When they stopped by The Pop Machine studio for our session they were all business. Displaying the talent, professionalism and charm that has helped them reach major label status and book more than a few late night talk show gigs. Their good looks, catchy melodies and tight harmonies will be enough to sell some records and keep them in the public eye even if they have to play these same songs and covers for the time being. Their next effort will be the true test of their staying-power and relevance, but the one thing you'll be able to count on is it will be fun.

[@Persun_McPersonson]

How does this stuff usually work? Because I just find it confusing

[@crownedcorn4380]

@@Persun_McPersonson Consider what just happened. This very song exploded as a meme, so TONS of people are finding Tally Hall again. I myself found Tally Hall out last year. The Bidding became popular on TikTok (though I have never once touched the app) and because of its popularity on there, I got it in my yt recommended. And ages ago, Banana Man was a big meme, where some of the even earlier fans found TH. It's really really cool, and also interesting to see that they're all Joe songs. I wouldn't doubt that we'd see some Turn The Lights Off meme in the next couple years.

Probably has to do with rock becoming more underground, shifting music industry for more artificial success through industry plants, and how fame is kinda broken and there haven’t been as many one wit wonders.
