Ballistic Edna

** Chicago's Best Alternative Rock Band **

About Me

Ballistic Edna is Chicago's best female fronted pop rock world band, composed of a potent blend of genres and genders. Their catchy radio-friendly songs have hit 1 on many internet radio charts in which all other acts were on major labels and they have been praised in Recording Magazine, Outburn, Future Music (UK) and Devil In The Woods. "Smoulder", from their debut album "Minefield Tapdance" has been downloaded over a million times, "Woman" downloaded over 40,000 times, "Titanic" over 100,000 times, and "She Will Return" over 120,000 times. "She Will Return" appeared on Dawson's Creek, and their song "Soulseeker" is the theme to UK ghost hunting show "Soulseekers". The band has performed around the Midwest and will soon appear at a venue near you. Listen to what everyone's downloading!
