==The Future of Tally Hall== | |||
Plans were made in 2013 to record a third album, but minor issues (including either not being ready or being too ready for it) would derail the project.<ref name="RJJJRadio2018">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12cVp9hYBmQ Joe and Ross on Jimmy Jam Radio, 02/21/2018. YouTube.]</ref> | |||
Joe Hawley stated in a 2018 radio interview that they have a lot of plans and themes in mind for their 3rd album, and that they never reached the sound they were trying to achieving for in their previous work. The only problem was that its a "complicated situation" and a more "administrative or logistic concern".<ref name="RJJJRadio2018">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12cVp9hYBmQ Joe and Ross on Jimmy Jam Radio, 02/21/2018. YouTube.]</ref> | |||
On December 13th, 2018, as part of ミラクルミュージカル's Reddit AMA, when asked whether Tally Hall is still around, Ross answered: <i>"Tally Hall still exists. Touring isn't possible at this very moment. That's about the only update".</i><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/a5ouhk/we_are_joe_hawley_ross_federman_and_bora_karaca/ebo82aa/ ミラクルミュージカル's Reddit AMA. Ross saying Tally Hall still exists.]</ref> | |||
In a August 15th 2023 Twitter thread, Andrew Horowitz, on behalf of the band, stated that one of the main reasons there hasn't been a 3rd album or tour is because of Joe Hawley's battle with an unnamed mental illness, which he had been dealing with for years.<ref>[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/news/2023/08/rob-ross-zubin-andrew-address-the-community/ Rob, Ross, Zubin, & Andrew Address The Community]</ref> | |||
