Dearest Ladyfans, The rock gods have spoken, and Tony Smokes and The Ladykillers must cease to exist as a band. The decision for this amicable split was not made lightly, but it was made for the good of Dylan Martin and Ally Falconer, who are leaving to pursue other, non-musical endeavors.

But maybe more than anything else, I’m learning about the differences between the big-ass city and my home state of Maine, particularly as pertains to their [...]
