Tell Me That You Love Me

Blood may relate people to each other, but bonds are what make them a family-such is the story of The Underhill Family Orchestra. The Mobile, Alabama-based collective encompasses five multi-talented souls who, while not a family in the physical sense, have forged familial bonds in the trenches of life, and have worked passionately to spread a message of love and unity through their infectious blend of Southern progressive pop. "That's the most important thing to me about our band, our music, and our message, we promote togetherness," explains vocalist Steven Laney of this band, where everyone writes songs, everyone sings, and instrumental duties are shared. The approach is tribal, the effort is communal; each song bears the imprint of the band's five members, woven like a tapestry of humanity.
