The Ballarats

"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.
