Cerebral Ballzy

Cerebral Ballzy: five skater punks from Brooklyn with an urgent necessity to eat pizza, drink beer, and play punk rock how it’s supposed to be played… really loud and really, really fast. These kids don’t sound like they’re part of the 80’s hardcore movement, they are part of the 80’s hardcore movement; they just couldn’t be bothered to be born in the 80’s. Despite this, they still got an offer to go on tour with HR from DC’s legendary Bad Brains, but they turned it down ‘cos they wanted to hop across the pond for a UK tour, play the Camden Crawl with Odd Future and most importantly drink better beer.

Frontman Honor Titus leads the quintet along with bassist Melvin Honore. Crazy Abe hits drums and Jason and Mason complete the line up on guitars. They’re kicking the shit back into the New York punk scene so hard they could probably single-handedly re-open CBGB’s. As Gavin McInnes said ‘Theses aren’t college kids who think the slums got so much soul, Cerebral Ballzy were born and raised in New Yorks asshole and instead of crying about it, they scream their way through a sprawling mess of 80’s hardcore and punk rock’.
