Album Review: Cerebral Ballzy - "Cerebral Ballzy"


There's something to be said about a band who just rock up into the studio, put down some three chord hardcore punk songs and then fuck off to the pub to drink beer, pick up girls and eat pizza. That's what Brooklyn's Cerebral Ballzy have done with their self titled debut, a fast furious blast of balls out punk rock.

With the twelve tracks clocking in at a commute friendly nineteen and a half minutes (only two songs even make it to 2 minutes), it seems silly to go off on a long winded review. Instead, all I'll say is that this is hardcore punk done well by a bunch of guys who are having fun doing what they do.

Bands like Sick of it All and Trash Talk (stay tuned for a review of their new EP) may have been doing it longer and louder, but Cerebral Ballzy are a welcome addition to the hardcore punk ranks.

*** 1/2
