I got my first listen of Hello Kelly by pure chance.

That was about 3 years ago. 3 years later, we're about to see the release of the band's follow up album, EASYFORYOUTOSAY and it will not by any means disappoint. Let me break it down for you...

Tourantula Show Review
Tourantula. Who would expect a less extravagant name for a Family Force 5 tour? Fortunately, no hairy, long-legged arachnids showed their faces at this event (at least not at this particular date), but the show was adventurous nonetheless.
