Cerebral Ballzy Announce Tour Dates With OFF!
Listen To "Better In Leather" from Forthcoming Cult Records Debut Jaded & Faded
"Punishing, scuzzy, brutal, dirty and to the point, Cerebral Ballzy could not give less of a f**k about the last 18 years of so-called punk." - PopMatters
"Throwback punks in their natural state: Spitting beer, smoking cigarettes, pummeling their instruments, and delivering sweaty, furious performances in dimly lit clubs." - Spin
Brooklyn-based punk band Cerebral Ballzy have announced a North American tour with OFF! this spring. The tour follows appearances at SXSW and Spillover Music Festival. All upcoming shows are listed below.
Cerebral Ballzy announced in the fall that they had signed to Cult Records. The label's owner, Julian Casablancas, says Cerebral Ballzy are "probably the coolest band in the world at the moment, a truly legit modern hardcore/punk band, and by far my favorite. It's beyond exciting to try and help them in any and all ways we can and we're honored to put their deliriously great new record out on Cult Records." The band's new album, produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek will be out this year, with more details to follow.
Cerebral Ballzy's album is highly anticipated after the band's new track "Better In Leather" premiered as Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record In The World' on BBC Radio 1 and the track is streaming atSoundcloud:
This is the second time the band have received Hottest Record In The World. The first time was for their track "Be Your Toy," before the band played the Reading/Leeds festival earlier this year. "Better In Leather" and "Be Your Toy" will both be included on Cerebral Ballzy's debut album, Jaded & Faded.
