   About The Ballarats
I write this, on the back of big Baz's knackered betting slip.

We are The Ballarats from North Shields, England. From the second booked show we did 6 months ago (our first booked show saw the venue burn to the ground before we had even soundchecked) we set out to give this a go.

We aren't here to re-invent the wheel, we're just 6 shit kickers from the north-east who have enough fire in the nuts, determination and ability to let our voices be heard. Why not?

Someone's Jealous came out last January, and now The Jockey will be up for download on i-Tunes 05/11/08.

Love and peace.

SOMEONE'S JEALOUS / CODE:RED Ltd Edition 7" Single 2008

"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."

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

"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."
