The Ackleys
The Ackleys were a rock band comprised of students from Oak Mountain High School Katie Crutchfield on guitar and vocals, her sister Allison on keyboards, Michael McClellan on bass, and Carter Wilson on drums. The Crutchfields originally formed a trio with Allison on drums and a different bassist. When they parted ways McLellan filled in. After adding Wilson, Allison moved to keyboards and the Ackleys were born.
In 2005 they released their self-titled CD, recorded in a friend's basement, on House of Love Records. The band donated a song to the album Chords of Relief: A Magic City Relief Effort for the Victims of Hurricane Katrina, and released Forget Forget Derive Derive in 2007.
As of early 2010, The Ackleys had disbanded and Katie Crutchfield had released an album with a new band, P. S. Eliot.
