Tally Hall (sometimes stylized as tallyhall) is an American rock band formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in December 2002, and publicly active until the conclusion of their Good & Evil tour in 2011. The band is known for its eclectic musical style, extensive use of vocal harmonies, and matching outfits featuring white button up shirts, colored neckties, and after 2008, black vests. The members originally described their musical style as "wonky rock", later redefining their sound as "fabloo" (/fəˈbluː/ fə-BLOO), to not let any particular genres define their music after critics began defining the characteristics of "wonky rock".
Once under the Atlantic Records recording label, Tally Hall was, again, signed to the indie label Quack! Media, who previously helped finance and nationally distribute their debut studio album, Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum on October 24, 2005. They released their second album, Good & Evil, on June 21, 2011.
Certain Tally Hall members (Rob Cantor, Joe Hawley, and Zubin Sedghi) also provided the vocals and music for all of the songs along with Tara Jayne Sands in Happy Monster Band, a children's television series that aired on Playhouse Disney.
