Check out the pictures below!!


Here's a pic of Andrew from The New Whole Usuals parting the seas and blowing the minds of the curious onlookers.

"A Most Pleasant Apocalypse" and other fun facts...

First, this picture has nothing to do with this song. Well, on second thought, maybe it does. I'm not saying seals are the reason for the impending apocalypse but we should keep our eye on them. I'm just saying...

I wrote a new song a few nights back and I remembered it the next day so I figured it was worthy of recording. It already has a few different names depending on where you're listening to it but for the purposes of this post it's called "A Most Pleasant Apocalypse". There's an mp3 below for your listening pleasure and remember, don't trust the seals. They're up to something...

"Counting Backwards"

Hey everybody! I hope all is well and thanks to those of you that came out to the show in Bowling Green on Saturday night!! It was a great time and Stillhouse Hollow torn the roof off the place! We can't wait to get back and play there again!

Yesterday, I sat for a bit and wrote a new song called "Counting Backwards". I almost titled it "The Space Song" but that just didn't feel right (Bean totally vetoed that title anyway...haha). Below is a link to an mp3 demo. Hope you like it and please share it with friends!!
