Past_members =Ballyhoo! is a
reggae band with many other genre influences that formed in July 1995 in Aberdeen, MD. In the beginning, Ballyhoo!'s main influences were pop-punk trioGreen Day and grunge bandNirvana . Soon after, they became influenced by reggae bands such as Sublime,311 , andGoldfinger . This gave them the reggae feeling they have in the songs on their albums. The introduction of Blaze on turntables provides a very unique factor in their music. Though they currently have a small fanbase, it is rapidly increasing as they tour across the USA's East and West coast.Their single "Longshot" was on the top 5 Rock list on www.garageband.com
