Handsomely Dishonest
Handsomely Dishonest is the new project of former Eight Hour Company singer Kevin Lange. With the help of good friend Drew Ryan, Lange breaks free from his punk rock roots in this pop-influenced indie rock band. Influenced by a wide range of musicians (The Good Life, Death Cab for Cutie, Brand New, The Avett Brothers, The Get Up Kids, Straylight Run, amongst others...), Handsomely Dishonest merges mellow and acoustic with powerful and epic. Each song becomes a new story narrated by heartfelt lyrics and illustrated by an even mix of heavy rhythm and delicate leads, depending on what the story calls for... See More

Inner-Office Mail
Hailing from the North Side of Chicago, Inner-Office Mail brings a unique sound and explosive energy to the stage. Founders Dave Stinnette and Kevin Lange began work on the project in late 2008.

Lange began tinkering with different vocal effects and distortions, things he never got the chance...See More

Richter and Schrishuhn continued to play in bands together including the Reggae/Funk/Jam band HAM and various studio side projects such as A Glorious Dance Party, The Handsome Devil, Francis Gabrielle...

Eight Hour Company
In the fall of 2003, a group of friends from high school got together just to play their instruments for the fun of playing. Guitarist Steve Elmore, drummer Teddy Schrishuhn, bassist Dave Stinnette, and guitarist (soon to be singer\guitarist) Kevin Lange didn't think it would amount to much, never really imagining that they would play shows or record music.
Running through some cover songs from bands like Brand New and Alkaline Trio in Teddy's garage, they became more in-tune with each others' playing styles and abilities and soon began writing their own songs. At first they were pop-punk anthems...See More
