Ballyhoo!

Ballyhoo! is an American band that has become synonymous with a rich blend of genres, defying traditional boundaries by merging rock, punk, reggae, and pop to create a distinctly spirited and refreshing sound. Hailing from Aberdeen, Maryland, the group was formed in the mid-1990s by brothers Howi (Howard) and Donald Spangler, who were joined by fellow high school friends to craft their sonic identity. Frontman Howi Spangler’s distinctive voice and the band's relentless energy quickly became their hallmark, earning them a dedicated fanbase.

Over the years, Ballyhoo! has evolved without losing the core essence of their upbeat and lively music. They've cultivated an impressive following as they've crisscrossed the country, performing at various venues and festivals, continually capturing audiences with their engaging live shows. The band's discography is a testament to their ability to remain dynamic while keeping the beach vibes alive. With recent releases such as "Neighbors," "Shellshock," both solo and featuring Iya Terra, and collaborative tracks like "Under the Sun" with Tropidelic and "Sleepin' on the Couch" with The Elovaters, Ballyhoo! continues to prove their versatility and connection with contemporary sounds. The energetic "808's x Coffee" and reflective "Planet Sad Boi" showcase their range, from pumping anthems to introspective tunes, mirroring their growth as artists and individuals.
