Sounds Like	"Quite simply, this is the kind of music that defines a generation. The Ballarats are fucking fantastic. The energy in the title track is tangible in ways that should be illegal, and from the opening riff to the final fade out this kicks all kind of ass. Words cannot describe how good this is. Just listen to it and be amazed." NARC MAGAZINE

SOMEONE'S JEALOUS / CODE:RED (10XBETTER)

"Quite simply, this is the kind of music that defines a generation. The Ballarats are fucking fantastic. The energy in the title track is tangible in ways that should be illegal, and from the opening riff to the final fade out this kicks all kind of ass. Words cannot describe how good this is. Just listen to it and be amazed."

NARC MAGAZINE

"A double A-sided gem! Compulsive foot-tapping at home will turn compulsive air-punching when seen live! Not exactly punk. Not exactly indie. Just excellent!"

WWW.ISTHISMUSIC.COM

"With Debut Single Someone's Jealous clocking in at the two-minute mark, its rebel yell finds The Ballarats making good their aim of bringing rock back to its most concise and element state."

METRO PAPER

“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

"Their short, sharp and fast punky tunes reek heavily of youth and exuberance, and lead singer Jon Corbett has an edgy and excitable sound to his singing, which matches the brilliant guitars."

Jazzy	Jun 8 2008 12:41 PM The Ballarats Promo Shoot in North Shields 7 June 2008 L to R: Chris Robertson (Reuben or Rubaz), Lead guitar, backing vox Jonny Shurben (Jonny Peril), Guitar Richard Sabiston (Sab), Bass Jonathan Corbett (Corb), Frontman and Lead Vox Dan Horn (Daniel J. Keaton), Drums John Cardhill (J.C. or Johnny Ballarat), songwriter, guitarist, vox Taking their name from the pub they're standing in front of (which was notorious for it's rough crowd) The Ballarats are an indie punk band with a tight sound. The frenetic antics of Jonathan Corbett are mesmerising, and the thumping beat and guitar rhythms will have you dancing along before you know it, belting out the choruses. The Ballarats will make you fall in love with boys and guitars all over again.
