Genre: Reggae Rock
Band Link: http://www.ballyhoorocks.com

It was only a month or so ago that I didn’t even know that Ballyhoo existed. Well that’s not entirely true, I’ve seen the name being talked about but haven’t heard their music until recently. As soon as I heard their stuff, I just thought it was catchy reggae/rock that would be perfect to listen to during the summertime. Now the band from Maryland are back with a new album entitled Pineapple Grenade.

Frank Turner – “Tape Deck Heart”

Record Label: Interscope Records
Genre: Folk Punk
Band Link: frank-turner.com
Buy on Amazon.com

Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls have come a long since playing in basements, bowling alleys and other smaller venues. Frank has played the Olympics in London and now he’s a mainstream success in the UK and the United States. It’s hard enough breaking out in the UK but Frank has done it in the US as well. As soon as I heard of Frank Turner back when Poetry of the Deed came out, I knew he was destined for success. Frank’s latest album Tape Deck Heart is his debut on major label Interscope Records and while I dislike the move, Frank deserves all the success he gets.

I recently had the chance to ask Jason Navarro a few questions about the band and what is next for him.
