With a combination of infectious hooks, soul-stirring lyrics, and captivating melodies, Ballyhoo!’s 9th full-length record promises to captivate both loyal fans and newcomers alike. From anthemic tracks to introspective ballads, the album covers a wide spectrum of emotions, making it an exhilarating and memorable musical journey.

Frontman Howi Spangler says, The goal with this album was to write and produce 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.”

Ballyhoos 9th full-length album is set to be a definitive statement of the band’s artistry, creativity, and musical prowess.
