Turn up the summer heat with “Girl Like You” by Audic Empire ft. Ballyhoo!. This is such a rad track that is bringing me all sorts of punk rock meets reggae vibes in the best way possible!

Travel to Virginia Beach and enjoy an incredible reggae lineup at the Point Break Music Festival! The two day festival runs June 1 - 2, and features fan favorites like Rebelution, Sublime, and Stephen Marley.

Congratulations to Ballyhoo! for being named the 2023 Daily Reggae “Reggae Rock Album of the Year”! Shellshock tallies up fourteen explosive tracks, aimed straight at your face with a lit fuse. 

Reggae rock’s rise continues to shred guitars around the world and we’d have to say this was another gem of a year for the release of reggae rock albums and live music. Here are five 2023 reggae rock albums that stood out to Daily Reggae!

Don’t wake the “Neighbors” with Dale and ZDubs ft Ballyhoo! Ska/punk is alive and well in the DMV, and two of Maryland’s best bands have come together to show how it is done. It’s a fun, high energy track with a big sing along chorus and a perfect addition to your favorite party playlist.

What does your teenage emo pop punk playlist have in common with reggae music? Absolutely nothing … until now! The extremely talented vocalist and lead guitarist of Iya Terra, Nathan Aurora, has created a project and successfully bridged the gap, composing a compilation of some of your favorite songs from a distant past performed by a new community of artists that put their own reggae twist to each of them.

Last night was filled with funk, reggae, …..and horse racing. Ballyhoo!, Dumpstaphunk, and Ghost Funk Orchestra traveled to Charles Town, West Virginia yesterday for the annual horse race and music festival. While the combination made for one of the more unique concerts I have ever been to, the music was far from an afterthought. From start to finish, each band put on absolutely amazing show, and the musicianship was top notch.

What do The Elovaters, Kyle Smith, Iya Terra, HIRIE, Tropidelic and Bumpin Uglies have in common? If you guessed that they’ve all got a spot on Ballyhoo!’s fiery new album, Shellshock, you’re entirely correct.  The Maryland based rockin’ reggae veterans have completed their latest collection of powerful songs with the help of some well-known friends.

Ballyhoo!’s “Drunk Texter” featuring HIRIE is yet another example they are releasing some of the raddest reggae rock on the scene. Every time I see that Ballyhoo! is dropping a new single, I know it’s going to be fire! Howi Spangler is amongst the best songwriters in reggae today, and Ballyhoo!’s guitars consistently shred so freaking hard!

Ballyhoo!’s “Clip My Wings” is a reminder to be free and follow your dreams. Howi Spangler is absolutely one of the best song writers in reggae rock today and I love this song and its message to push haters away.

No matter where you live, it's clear that summer is upon us and the music scene is in full swing. Santa Cruz’s, The Expendables, decided to participate in the sizzling “summer release” program with their newest addition, “Pleasure Point” via Ineffable Records.

“Rearview” by Pacific Dub ft. Ballyhoo! will set you free. I always love listening to Pacific Dub songs and am especially connecting with this single’s thoughtful lyrics and beautiful lyrics.

This week’s song is the pop-punk infused “Original One of a Kind” by The Expendables ft Howi Spangler of Ballyhoo! The collaboration you didn’t know you needed, this song has big vibes and big energy and is the perfect song to kick off summer.The song was released by Ineffable Music.

Today’s featured item is a major vibe, the Ballyhoo! Jaws Tank. Rocking a Maryland beach rock/retro feel, these tanks are sure to be a huge hit this summer. Btw the boys are busy working on a new album, so keep an eye out for some new music! Head over to The Shop to see more!

Adam Almony showcases his songwriting talent, guitar chops and positive mindset in the rocking new album, “Blue Sky Moon”. Whether you’re starting your day fresh, unwinding after work, or biking with a beach view, you’ll enjoy Almony’s jams.

The time was around 11:15 a.m. on a beautiful Friday morning and the streets of downtown Long Beach were buzzing with out-of-towners and locals alike, all headed to the Marina Green Park for the love of reggae music. As the gates opened…

Festivals have started, the weather is getting warmer, and the reggae season is in full swing. To celebrate, this week’s SOTW is “Sleepin on the couch” by Ballyhoo! ft The Elovaters. The fun, beach rock track delivers a laid back groove, spacey synth and guest vocals from The Elovaters.

Rock dream team, Callisto has formed made up of shredders from bands like Ballyhoo! and Bumpin Uglies. The band dropped its first single, “This Is Awkward” today and plans to drop a full album in April. Callisto is expanding from its reggae roots by infusing punk and grunge into a new sound that we’re excited to hear more of this year!

Florida Groves 2023 has an amazing lineup including Thievery Corporation, Protoje, Inner Circle, Collie Buddz, and Sierra Lane. The Orlando-based music festival produced by Dab Day Productions will be held April 15th and April 16th and will certainly bring so many good vibes!

Ballyhoo! has dropped dates for the band’s upcoming “Sleepin On The Couch” Tour featuring Mike Pinto, Audic Empire, Joint Operation, Joey Harkum, and CLoud9 Vibes on select dates!
