The band is now booking for support of its release:     "Old School Abbey’s sound has been described as sounding “the way rock should—unpolished and bustling with energy…” A young band out of Beckley, West Virginia. Teeming with knowledge, they own a sound long missing from the music scene; a desire and passion long forgotten by the mainstream. Tinges of Ben Harper, Dave Matthews, Keller Williams, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, and a whole host of acoustic solo rockers drip all over the sound Old School Abbey, but a delightful electric twist adds a new sort of energy. Acoustic guitar rhythms layered underneath reinforce the organic quality of a band that seems to be ready to break out at any moment."     "OSA finds their sound just as fitting on a preteen's iPod as it does from a bar full of smoke and liquor. They will pass your time on a long drive, and they will bring the crowd to your campsite at your next music festival. OSA drives a sound to the masses and speaks in a harmony driven language that breathes as clearly into the ears of the music aficionado as the pop radio crowd. OSA has their sights on the world." The band has recently shared the stage with a multitude of diverse acts including: The Spin Doctors, Perpetual Groove, The Clarks, Members of Rusted Root, Omni-soul/The Crash Motive, The Varsity, The Hint, Five Star Iris and many other talented artists of the time.         OSA appreciates it College and University fan base performing for numerous schools and campuses.       TAXI,  A&R Company has called Girl Like You "a triumph", and has said the "solid chemistry of the band exhibits that they are ready to take a larger step into the world". Reviewer B-Showtime of 102.3 WMTD-FM, states that O.S.A has a knack for writing upbeat acoustic/pop/rock numbers a la Howie Day and Jack Johnson", going so far to call the group "The Hottest College Rock Band on the East Coast".
