A rock band with punk energy and pop reggae grooves, Baltimore's BALLYHOO! are a fun, fan-loving powerhouse. These road dogs have tirelessly toured coast-to-coast taking their music to the people. Between the road and the studio, BALLYHOO! have crafted a sound distinctly their own; fresh, fun, and embodied by the soul of the party lifestyle. Lead singer and guitarist, Howi Spangler, has a reputation for mixing slick lyrics with his smooth but powerful voice. Drummer Donald "Big D" Spangler lays out the hard-hitting beats, which are underlined by JR Gregory's funky and witty bass lines. Scott Vandrey (aka DJ Blaze) rounds it out on the turntables and keys.
BALLYHOO!'s unique sound, hardcore devotion to the road and their fans has pitched them into snowballing success. The band has performed with a myriad of national touring acts; 311, Slightly Stoopid, SOJA, The Dirty Heads, Matisyahu, and more. In 2011, after concluding the Last Calls and Liabilities tour with respected contemporaries, Pepper, they were honored with being included on the ever-popular Hollister Holiday Playlist. They were listed on MTV's Top 100 Bands to Watch and even featured 2 downloadable songs on the popular video game ROCK BAND. Tour highlights include the 2011 311 Pow Wow Festival, the 2012 311 Caribbean Cruise, Bamboozle 2012, & the entire 2012 Vans Warped Tour.
The band's last single "Last Night" saw rotation at various alternative radio stations including WHFS Baltimore, WRFF Philadelphia, KUKQ Phoenix, Star 101.9 Honolulu, & SiriusXM/Faction, as well as various specialty shows around the country. The band's new single "Walk Away" is next and poised to open even more doors at radio with it's melodic chorus and sing along vibe. Yesod Williams, owner of the band's label LAW Records says of his newest addition, "Having BALLYHOO! join the LAW family is a perfect fit. They are an incredibly talented band with a really catchy style".
No stranger to touring and creating hundreds of new fans at a time, The Sheffield Crew will be in direct support of Ballyhoo!
Hailing from Marco Island, one of the few inhabited stretches of sand in Florida's 10,000 Islands, The Sheffield Crew explodes with a style all their own. Combining spitfire hip-hop, infectious island rhythms, as well as hard-driving rock and bouncy ska, The Crew are making a strong name for themselves within Florida's growing Reggae/Rock scene. Comprised of the fiery Chris Jacobs on vocals, the incomparable Danny "Splenda" Iaconelli on guitar and vocals, bong-rattling bassist Steve Dirt, and hard hitting drummer Shaun Jacobs, this collection of home-grown and technically trained musicians have already gained a devoted, often fanatical Florida fanbase.
After a strong release of the band's debut independently-produced album, "When The Night Falls", followed by a year of successful shows and regional touring, The Sheffield Crew has released their 2nd full-length album "A Sunny Place for Shady People". Known all over Florida for their high-energy shows, The Sheffield Crew have performed with such notable acts as Cypress Hill, Matisyahu, Pepper, Rebelution, Ky-Mani Marley, Dirty Heads, Sublime w/ Rome, Tribal Seeds, Fishbone, Passafire, The Supervillains, The Movement, Through The Roots, Lionize, and too many others to name. Whatever you choose to call the The Sheffield Crew's unique blend of music, they are a surefire way to smoke out any venue.
