The Balboas - Heavy Surf Rock (USA)

The Balboas emerged from the damp recesses of Akron, OH. Its filth and fury spread through the USA, then abroad, then into outer space. It's an unstoppable force, a living breathing organism, a dirty, greasy amalgam of rock and roll punk surf. This is not for the faint of heart. Enter the kingdom and prepare to emerge forever has changed. Decked in their traditional black, the Balboas bring a full frontal Fender attack from American rock and roll that does not fit perfectly into established genres. Armed with the instruments and backward rhythm of the West Coast acts of the 1960s era, the writing and performances of the music Balboas infuse the anguish and irreverence of 70s and 80s punk rock, into a fuzzy, soaked reverb, dam of sound. Over 20 years and thousands of miles on the tour circuit, the Balboas have created their own sound, gaining a reputation as a lively and carefree act characterized by a greasy American middle finger. While setting up their own unique sound, the Balboas praised some of the most difficult, gray, and worn-out scripts in the United States, having shared the stage with garage-rock icons, Woggles and Fleshtones, rockabilly giants, Southern Culture in the Skids and the Flat Duo Jets, the Southern Nashville Pussy Rockers and the Drive-By Truckers, the Legendary Punk Agent Orange and the Dictators, and the surf guitar masters, Dick Dale and Slacktone. The Balboas were formed in 1995 and released their first studio recording Heavy Surf Advisory in 1998. Studio musicians performed, the Balboas followed with full recordings of Little Bit of Fear and Big as You Need, plus a live version of Duvel's Lawyer. The band quickly established a worldwide audience attended by regular rotation in Little Steven's underground garage and a cult following on the internet. The Balboas are led by vocalist Mark Healy and lead guitarist Rich Griffith. The rhythm section is pressed by Rick Frei on rhythm guitar and rock n 'roll queen, Caitie O'Shea, on bass. The only non-original member of the band is legendary drummer Dusty Watson, who lent his Ludwig assault services to Dick Dale, Agent Orange, and now brings his aggressive and aggressive style to the creators of The Sonics punk garage. Balboas members live in 5 different cities across the US, but have managed to keep writing and running their exclusive rock brand for more than 2 decades. Meet the Balboas!
