Tilly and the Wall is Kianna, Neely, Nick, Derek, and Jamie (whose tap-dancing provides the percussion!). They got their start in Omaha, Nebraska, which is where they reconvened for last October’s Heavy Mood (Team Love). They were kind enough to record—and then re-record, after a computer crash—“Heartbeats,” remixed by Micah James. Listen and love!
If you want to pitch/submit a Rookie theme song by you or your band, please write to us at submissions@rookiemag.com, and write THEME SONG in the subject line.



























So pretty! I love it! That is so cool about the tap-dance percussion, and Minna, I’m loving your collage, it’s beautiful!

This is not something I usually go for, but the reverb and vocal distortions are doing me in!
