Local Spotlight: Black Balloon

If you like the DIY, grittier electro-punk-indie sound, you absolutely HAVE To check out Black Balloon!!!

Front man, Tobias Hawkins stems from a long line of local rock, indie & punk bands. Partnered with Charles Stella, Sid E Rak & Liam Hart - they produce a unique sound that one can only describe as "DIY Indie-Punk-Electro-Rock-Shoegaze!" rolled into one. It's like a burrito of music that "people in black or indie fashions" like to listen to. One can never really tell where all this sub-genre nonsense is going!

Listeners have said things like "They have a pretty unique sound, you can tell they're gonna make it big!" and "I love the energy they have [on stage]! They really connect with the crowd!"
