the best songs we could. There’s no focused sound or anything like that, in fact
it’s all over the place stylistically. But it all sounds like Ballyhoo!. I think
there’s something for everyone with “Shellshock”. I’m really proud of what we did,
everyone crushed their parts. I can’t wait to see what songs are hitting the hardest
with our listeners in the weeks after release.”_

[[**About Ballyhoo!** 
Through 25 years and eight independent albums, the last four
on their own Right Coast Records, Ballyhoo! have earned the exclamation point which
marks their name. Starting in the basement of their mom’s Aberdeen, MD, home, rocking
out on guitar and drums respectively, practicing every day, brothers Howi and Donald
Spangler formed the proto-punk band in the mold of Green Day and Nirvana, with an
eye towards the emerging ska genre led by Goldfinger, Sublime, 311 and No Doubt.

The group’s eighth and most recent studio album, the breezy, ska-fueled, hook-filled
Message to the World, on their own Right Coast Records, finds the self-declared “
beach-rockers,” having grown up in public, accepting the responsibilities of adulthood
while still hanging on to their dreams of world domination. Stylistically, their
music ranges from the hard-edged punk of 2018’s Detonate, which captured the feelings
of anger and depression from dealing with personal loss and the exhaustion generated
by over a decade on the road to the island reggae beats of the follow-up, Message
to the World.

“Whatever you want to achieve, just focus on that and work towards it,” explains
Howi about the Ballyhoo! ethos. “Don’t worry about followers, views, or even money.
Just keep making good stuff. One day it may be possible to finally quit that day
job and live your dream full time.” Ballyhoo! is still doing just that, purveying
good vibes, positivity and fun live shows meant to take you away from real life…
