well if you like surf rock, reggae and punk, then Ballyhoo is the band for you. Most band vocalists these days have whiny voices and can get pretty annoying, so after picking up this album a year ago, i gotta say the guy's voice actually sounds nice! this band is so underrated that even with their sophomore album (which is a major improvement from this album) still have not gain any publicity or spotlight. if you do like their sound please support them by buying this album, because they truly deserve unlike a bunch of emo bands out there.

I very rarely write a review for music. I have seen many bands, working at a national venue you see the good along with the bad. I really liked seeing Ballyoo! For someone that can not always remember the number of shows I have worked to say this band is good is monumental.

It carries over to their albums as well. Live music is always the best, but I can say that Ballyoo! takes their power and intensity to new levels on this album. From Cerveza (which is my favorite mood changing song)to Cali-girl the music is tight and never gets old.

A good solid sound that makes for hours of listening.

All fans of Sublime, 311, Green Day, etc. need to check out this band. They are amazing. Great music that puts you in a great mood.

If you have never heard of Ballyhoo! I recommend jumping on the bandwagon as soon as possible because they're going to blow up and blow up big.

With the release of their first major album, 'Do It for the Money', Ballyhoo! prove themselves to be amazing musicians with songs that will stick in your head for a long while. Every song on the album is unique and nothing sounds recycled or as if it could have been a b-side. This album is 100% amazing in every sense of the word.

People who like Sublime or 311 will feel right at home with Ballyhoo! as their style somewhat resembles the aforementioned. Without question though, Ballyhoo! is a band with a whole lot of promise and after a practically perfect debut album leaves me with a lot of hope for the future.

Side note: Their live shows are amazing. After seeing them live once I immediately wanted to see them again. The songs on this album are even better when performed live [which is saying a whole lot]. Check em out!
