The Underhill Family Orchestra, who released their debut LP, Tell Me That You Love Me (stream at Spotify or Soundcloud) via Skate Mountain Records on May 4th, is back with a highly entertaining new video for album track "When The Trumpet Sounds" which premiered today at Farce The Music.
"This is an Americana band that actually sounds like they're having a great time, and it's infectious," says Farce The Music in the premiere. "Give this video a look - it's hilarious - then give the album a listen - you won't regret it." Patterned after those super high-tech televsion shows from the 1980s, TUFO takes us on a rollicking ride as they try to fit into the corporate mold. Were they successful? Check out the video here and find out:
The band, which was recently recognized by Playlistplay as one of "4 Artist You Need To Know" from this year's Westport Roots Festival in Kansas City, has been tearing up the highways bringing their raucous energy to stages across the country to support the release of Tell Me That You Love Me. DittyTV calls their live show "one of the most kinetic and absolutely captivating performances…Underhill deliver a wide range of sounds from stomp-and-holler rock to tenderhearted tales of finer feelings betrayed. Their upcoming album...will solidify their reputation as one of Americana’s must-see live bands."
The album, produced by Noah Shain, swirls with soulful harmonies, powerful riffs and gut-punching rhythms; the band's deeply-rooted Southern influences are on full display as the Mobile, Alabama-based collective explores the ideas of togetherness, love, and finding "what makes you a kid again." From New Orleans second-line brass, to swamp-infused blues-rock, nods to spirtuals and spoken recollections from bandmember Joelle Rosen's Maw Maw Ida about meeting, and losing, the love of her life, it's impossible to remain unmoved by Tell Me That You Love Me.
