After the completion of M.M.M.M.'s re-release in 2008, many would question when Tally Hall would head into the studio to create a second album. In May of 2009, they would confirm via Twitter that they were waiting to record a second album in the summer<ref>[https://twitter.com/TallyHall/status/1719518832 Tally Hall tweet]</ref>. These plans would be delayed to fall of 2009, but the band kept busy with touring and eventually a new song. Tally Hall were asked to write and record a song for a book called "The Magician's Elephant", which they would agree to. On August 12th 2009 they would start to record the track which would be released in the fall as a free download.<ref>[https://twitter.com/adhorowi/status/3274256168?s=20&t=dsAxjgpSozuS_mdKwQqnWA Andrew Horowitz tweet]</ref> That track was [[Light | After the completion of M.M.M.M.'s re-release in 2008, many would question when Tally Hall would head into the studio to create a second album.

After the book's release in September, Tally Hall would finally head into the studio to start recording what would become [[Good & Evil]] on October 26th 2009. | After the book's release in September, Tally Hall would finally head into the studio to start recording what would become [[Good & Evil]] on October 26th 2009. After completing Good & Evil, the band would spend less than 2 days to rehearse for a tour with Rooney and Crash Kings. | ||
In March of 2010, Good & Evil finally finished production. After production wrapped, Tally Hall went on a tour with [[Skybox]] and [[Crash Kings]] for the remainder of March. This tour would be met with much confusion, as [[Casey Shea]] would fill in for Joe Hawley for every tour date, as well as later dates in 2010. Joe later stated he was unable to tour because his "personal life and my professional life intersected in a way that may have been considered unsavory." Despite this, the band continued writing new work, some of it later released in solo efforts by the individual members. | |||
Their 2010 tour would see public performances of other songs from Good & Evil, like [[Who You Are]], [[You]], and [[Cannibal]]. The song "Life in a Cube" by Casey was also performed live with Casey on lead vocals. | |||
Sometime in 2010, Tally Hall would also pitch a series of cover songs to Atlantic Records, a way to cross promote them and other Atlantic Records artists. The label would have no interest in the project. Only one song from this series was ever released, a cover of [[Club Can't Handle Me]] by Flo Rida with vocals from Casey Shea. Another unsuccessful pitch was the song [[Strangers]], a possible single. | |||
In 2011, the band was released from [[Atlantic Records]] and went back to [[Quack! Media]] to release their 2nd full-length album, Good & Evil. Good & Evil was released on June 12, 2011<ref>[https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/good-evil/1111778836 Good & Evil - iTunes].</ref> | In 2011, the band was released from [[Atlantic Records]] and went back to [[Quack!

On July 20th, Tally Hall would livestream a rehearsal through the website StageIt, in an attempt to raise funds to tour in support of Good & Evil. It can be assumed this livestream was successful, as they started the Good & Evil tour the next day with Speak and Casey Shea as opening acts. | |||
The last show of the tour was at Mr. Small's Theater on August 20th 2011. This show would be (as of now) the last time Tally Hall would perform together. | |||
