A Halo Called Fred releases "We're All Like, YEAH!"

originally published: 05/14/2026

(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- New Brunswick's eclectic geek folk-rock act, A Halo Called Fred, is back with their new epic album, We're All Like, YEAH! Featuring 21 new tracks, this latest mixtape from the world's best steampunk psycho-pop band is guaranteed to bring joy to any hyper-dimensional occasion.

Finely honed through live performances at off-beat, counter-cultural conventions, the songs on We’re All Like, YEAH! feature a smorgasbord of wild lyrical themes. Expect everything from Dad jokes and time travel to robots and psychotic monkeys.

When asked about the album, bandleader Geverend Dee explains, “We’re All Like, YEAH! is not only the name of our album and our title track, but the philosophy we’re following in general. We want to keep things positive! (Yeah!) We want to encourage anything we have to say! (Yeah!) And we want to give ourselves no limits! (YEAH!) With this album, we really ARE all like, YEAH!”

A Halo Called Fred has spent the last two decades making the geekiest sounds ever to spring from guitar, bass, violin, and Tupperware. Featuring songs about pirates, cavemen, and any body part or flying thing you can think of. They have lent their talents to Burlesque shows, motion picture soundtracks, a rock opera, and host the annual charity event "The Freaky Mutant Weirdo Variety Show". Specializing in counter-cultural and geeky conventions, the Halo is proud to bring musical joy to any gathering. From Setampunks to Fairies, Bikers to Furries, our message always rings true - "We Love You All!"

Band members include Geverend Dee (vocals, guitars); Brushwood Thicket Farmer (a Bang-O-Tron of percussion, vocals); Tiny (bass guitar, mandolin, vocals); and Queenie (violin, bass guitar, vocals).
