Hey so before I copy & paste the whole fucking history section on the tally hall wiki page I would like to tell you guys that I have a section for this on my profile "⭐the tally hall history" so go check it out if you'd like.

Andrew Horowitz, one of the only members not originally from Michigan, began writing songs when he was eight years old, and attended the University of Michigan, studying composition. There he met Rob Cantor, who had both attended high school with Zubin Sedghi and joined Joe Hawley's film production group, AnonyMous. Tally Hall's original drummer, Steve Gallagher, left the band in May of 2004. Ross Federman, who Joe knew from high school, took his place shortly thereafter.
