The Scallions, Mike and Shawn Franklin, have been recording for 10 years and have completed their first product for the general public.  The name of the album is "Mud Pie".  Mixing power pop and avant-garde, The Scallions have created a 14 track CD full of fresh and exciting sounds.

"Mud Pie" is on Tom Timony's new label, Esoteric Music Group.  Tom Timony is a veteran in the music business. In the eighty's he ran The Residents' label, "Ralph Records".  This album is hot off the heels of the release of "F.E.S.T.E.R.", a Residents' tribute album, which features The Scallions covering "In San Francisco".

Since the release of "Mud Pie", The Scallions' music has been featured on several radio stations including a large station in South Africa.  A web site is now up and running (thescallions.com) as well as a page at mp3.com.  The band continues to promote this album and they are currently working on new material for a second release.  The new CD will be titled "Agony Through Ceremony".

As of this writing, Tom Timony's label is on hold.  He has accepted a merchandising position that will require most of his time.  The Scallions have just started a mailing list.  The band is shopping for a new label.  Please listen to the super sounds of "avant-garde power pop."
