It seems every time I finally make peace with the fact that Tally Hall (one of my very favorite bands, on hiatus since 2011 for very legitimate reasons) will never return, something happens that raises my hopes again. Last November, it was Zubin Sedghi’s Spotify Wrapped message claiming they will return once they achieve a totally unrealistic number of monthly listeners. And now it’s this.
Tallyball (the foremost commentator in the Tally Hall community) has made a video that relays information stated by Matthew Altruda (radio personality and close friend of the band) claiming that all five members have met up and had discussions about…something. We’re not really sure. Some people theorize that they discussed plans for a reunion or third album of some sort. Some theorize that it was simply a meeting between friends. Details are still unclear. Either way, it’s nice that they met up.
My two cents: I think it’s unlikely that they would all get together and not talk about the future of the band. It’s a favorite topic in interviews, and a topic that’s been on everyone’s mind since the Wrapped video and the Joe Hawley situation (once again, not explaining it, just Google it). Of course, we haven’t had any updates on the situation since Joe left Twitter and the doc got taken down. It’s entirely possible the situation got better, and it’s entirely possible things are still choppy. I don’t want to speculate on that too much, because these are real people, and I don’t want to even hypothetically pry into their mental health and interpersonal relationships and whatnot. All I will say is that I think it’s likely the band’s future was discussed. What that entails, I don’t know.
All I know is that I’m glad they got together. Things have not been easy lately, and it’s nice they were able to meet up and chat. Even if there’s no third album or reunion concert, good on them.
That being said, hot dang do I want a third album.
