Everyone's Allies

Hey everyone! I figured I’ve talked enough about myself the past couple of weeks, and thought I’d give you the chance to get to know a group of guys near and dear to my heart, Allies. You may recognize them from my Top 5 post last week, where I briefly mentioned them opening up for a Bad Rabbits at a show on Long Island, where they’re from.

Comprised of lead singer/keyboardist Joe Villafane, guitarist Ryan Higbie, bassist Sean Banicki and drummer Alex Kaufman, Allies began back in 2012 after the childhood and college friends came together under their old name, Along the Falls earlier on. Over the past few years of knowing them, I’ve had the privilege of watching them evolve as musicians and reinvent their sound, putting out work they’re really proud of. 

They really know how to put on a great show and are certainly ones to keep an eye out for, so I figured they deserved a little spotlight courtesy of lightning bug. Within the next few days, look out for an interview with them where we’ll talk about who they are and what’s next for this creative and extremely talented band of brothers.
