Balboa

'flanked by bright red brick and sandy stone'

About Me

Balboa are made up of five young men from Manchester whose friendships are gelled on a mutual love of fine music, fine socializing, fine form and bad behaviour. Forming in the summer of 2005 balboa quickly found their musical legs and played their first public show @ the Witchwood in Ashton on 6th November 2005. Since then it has been hell and leather covering as much ground as possible around Manchester and her genourous neighbours including stockport, Oldham and even over the big hill to Leeds where they were particulary well received (even with song titles like leaving you for Manchester)!Taking their professional inspiration from legends like the rolling stones and the Clash and more contemporary bands like the Kings of Leon, Kasabian and The Libertines, balboa find influence in experience and try not to stray to far from the things that turn them on. They compose the finest indie punk anthems around which titles like ..the pigeons shit on London, the same as they do here.. and ..at least its not crack.. and command even the most unwelcoming audiences undivided attention with their fanominal live performances (something in which they take great pride).
