After a couple gigs, they began to record some demos in Joe's bedroom/attic and play small shows around the University of Michigan campus. An early mascot of theirs was a chinchilla, based on a pet they had. It featured as the cursor on their site and on a couple shirts. | After a couple gigs, they began to record some demos in Joe's bedroom/attic and play small shows around the University of Michigan campus.

In April 2004, they recorded their second EP, the [[Welcome To Tally Hall EP]]. However, a month later Steve Gallagher left the band due to commitment issues for touring, so they eventually recruited drummer [[Ross Federman]]. Federman went to high school with Joe and he remembered Ross being a drummer. 2004 also saw the release of [[Complete Demos]] in November, a compilation of the EPs they did over the past two years. This release would be sold at concerts and was available for purchase on [[tallyhall.com]] for about a year. The album was then considered out of print and hard to find until December 2015 when they uploaded it and made it available to purchase through Bandcamp. <ref>[https://tallyhall.bandcamp.com/album/complete-demos Tally Hall Complete Demos - bandcamp]</ref> | In April 2004, they recorded their second EP, the [[Welcome To Tally Hall EP]].
