---"Louisville's Tony Hall makes you think a bit of Tom Pettys more acoustic based music with this, his first solo recording. There is also a subtle Dave Matthews undercurrent especially when he turns the musicianship up a notch in songs like The Long Way and Dire. This is basically feel good music, very well-written with innovative touches and intelligent lyrics." - Mark E.
Waterbury, Music Morsels: March 2006
---"Tony Hall, a local singer/songwriter, dedicates almost every strum of his acoustic guitar on his album "Seven Falls" to love lost and finding love again. Hall's folky goodness seems sincere and he never tries to overreach...Hall's acoustic arrangements are solid and sure...touches of color, such as the slide guitar on "Hostage" and the lively brass on "Puerto Rico" bring the songs' own luster to light, and Hall is mindful to let them shine on their own." -Velocity, 3/29/06
--- Singer / song-writer /guitarist Tony Hall smacks a home run on this sterling sophomore effort. A classicist at heart (his influences range from Dylan to Petty) with an eye on contemporary pop (check out the funky, neo-psychedelic Dire replete with a wicked hip-hop tinged intro), Hall spins thought-provoking tales of the human condition with subtle melodies, expert musicianship, and refreshingly economic arrangements... Seven Falls emerges as an acoustic pop album that certainly stands with anything Dave Matthews, Citizen Cope, and Sheryl Crow fill arenas with. - Tom Semioli, Minor 7th.com: Nov./Dec. 05 Reviews
---"Tony shows a fine sense of melody and hooks to hang his words on...this is particularly evident on the best song on the album, the final track, a medley of an original, 'Pearl' and the Waterboys' 'This is the Sea'. Weighing in at nearly ten minutes and with prominent vibraphone this is like a meeting of the aforementioned (Lloyd)Cole and Tim Buckley and is reason enough to buy this album."- Paul Kerr, Americana UK
---" 'Wide Open Day' from Tony Hall's Seven Falls CD on Magik 7 Records has been added to the Mojo Dreams playlist."- Mark Vebert, Radio Sinaii(105.5FM), Belgium
---"It's no stretch to imagine dialing up WFPK(91.9 FM) in
Louisville and hearing any or all of these songs."- LEO Weekly

As a friend of Killaflaw we'd like to give you the opportunity of purchasing our uniquely numbered, limited edition CD single 'Revolution' which also includes the much loved 'Holy Fuck' on the B side.
There are only 1000 copies in existence and further copies will be sold without these unique numbers, so here is your chance to own a piece of music history from the LIPA award winning band dubbed by Eddy dance/rock guru Temple-Morris "the missing link between Soundgarden and The Prodigy"
The record is of course also available to buy as MP3 download.
We wanted to drop by and let you know that we appreciate your support very much. Thank You :-) Lately we have been real busy with writing our album and at the same time recording it 3 songs at a time as we have them finished, as you know we posted recently 3 new songs that will be on the album, we hope you have enjoyed them. We are just about finished with the next 3 songs and think they should be finished in the next 2 weeks, plus, we got to shoot our first music video while we were in the studio......it was a blast, an experience we won't forget anytime soon. Our album will be called "Revelations" and will have 12 rockin' tracks on it. We hope to get it finished by the end of the year. We have some shows coming up that you might be interested in and, of course, we would love to have you there.
