about

Long-awaited, oft-anticipated, rarely expected, The Alphabet Asylum's sophomore endeavor breaks away from the old-school "battle rap" style of their debut album in favor of a more fun, story-driven lyrical experience. Coupled with an even more eclectic musical accompaniment, "The Oath" showcases all the expected funky, flavorful freshness, in ten never before recorded tracks from the most unapologetic Halloween party show band in modern music history.

The Alphabet Asylum needs to offer huge, smothering, bearhug thanks to Big Larry for his time and patience, and all the bonus funk he provided, to the people that always kept us in their mouths and media players, and to their own personal Jesus, Josh Roberts, who stormed in from the rain and finally closed the damn door.

We started this project as a way to crowd fund for Res, who was at the time expecting his second child. Now, that child is a grown man with a child of his own, but we never gave up on the dream of putting out a second attempt at pure, unbridled funk. Thank you to everyone that donated all those years ago, and to anyone that stumbles across this album, especially if you listen and like what you hear. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell random people at the county fair. You probably don't need to tell your mom; she's still waiting for the reunion tour announcement.
