The Oh Hellos are an indie folk rock band from San Marcos, Texas. The brother and sister band started making music together in 2011 and have recorded three albums and four E.P's. The Oh Hellos are influenced by Los Compesinos!, The Pogues, and Mumford & Sons. Torches (Nov'17) was the lead single for their third album Notos (Dec'17). Torches is a bombastic indie folk song that builds with strings and is given punch by the gang vocals.
