This decade old music group started out with brothers; Howi and Donald aka Dino and later became a 4 men team with the inclusion of Blaze, a childhood friend and Mista J. Within a space of one year after their launch in '95 and the sad demise of their mother, they stormed the local music scene with their debut album "365-Day Weekend". It climbed the charts like crazy and brought them immense attention and popularity. Then came the next big thing when they were invited to open the annual HFStival in D.C., a huge radio festival with 60,000 strong crows and bands like Green Day, Sum 41, Incubus and Staind shared the same platform and they've done the honors at this event thrice by now!

Their approach to music is unique but simple; they have tried to bring together the two extremes of music - loud, hard music and gentle, foot tapping numbers and they've largely succeeded at it. They have an interactive website at http://www.myspace.com/ballyhoo where you could listen and download free songs, purchase their albums and other goodies plus browse through some very good music links. A hip message board allows you easy access to other Ballyhoo fans and what they feel and write. These guys are always accessible and always in the news! Tickets are going fast!

Their song 'Longshot' was picked for a compilation CD by 98 ROCK Baltimore called, "Noise in the Basement". Was in the top 5 Rock category at Garageband.com or more than a year!

Nominated for "Best Unsigned of 2004" by Y100 FM in Philadelphia
