about
"Praise be for The Ballarats, then: five young upstarts from Newcastle whose spiky brand of angular punk sees them come on like The Fall playing really, really fast, or the Buzzcocks playing really, really slow. A band with more promise than polish: they're here to remind you why you fell in love with lads with guitars in the first place" (Fly Magazine). Firmly a-buzz in their homeland, the band are ready to embark on a national jaunt. With a debut release still in the works, it's on stage where the group really come alive. Recent support slots with the likes of The Cribs, Delays, Field Music, British Sea Power and Last Gang in Town have seen the unsigned band unleash their hyperkinetic brand of 21st Century punk to audiences who expect nothing less than a fully-blown riot from a band intent on alleviating their homespun frustration the only way they know how... with the guitars slung frontward and the amps turned to twelve.
