About Me

The Ballistics formed in November 2002. Since then they have eaten plenty of pizza and drunk many beers. They wrote a whole bunch of ska songs in between eating and drinking, and people seemed to like them. Weird! According to the almost legendary Kate Blamires, they're like "a more mature, suited and booted version of blazin squad." Nice.If you would like to book The Ballistics please drop us a message.

Brass Bastards
