Wassailicious (2010)

Wassailicious cover

We like to describe Wassailicious as "an unfiltered piquant melange of full-bodied holiday neo-classics. Pairs well with squid-ink fettuccine and mince pie."


Committed (2007)

Committed cover

Committed has been described by the Recorded A cappella Review Board as "the most creative and interesting a cappella album", "an existential album", and "oddly pleasing". We're pleased to be odd. Read the reviews.
