BLACKBALL FIGHTER*

Atmospheric .. Anthemic .. Rock

About Me

..BLACKBALL FIGHTER..
"THE MOST ORIGINAL, MOST ENERGISING AND THE DOWNRIGHT MOST SATISFYING ROCK MUSIC IN YEARS"
"'Hell' number 10 independent irish chart
"this four-piece describe themselves as atmospheric, experimental rock. But that doesn't really do them justice in the funk department...basslines weave and bob with furious intricacy...synth melodies add depth to what is already a rather solid sound...overtones of RATM and Led Zeppelin, but Blackball Fighter pulls it off"
BBC Northern Ireland
'Fever' 4 weeks number one track
"the people of belfast are lucky to have such a talented band right in their backyard"
Revolution Radio Chart Show
Blackball Fighter OFFICIAL WEBSITE
"HELL is the kind of indie anthem that has you singing along even before you know the words. From the opening drum pattern with that kind of military precision early U2 were known for you just know you're going to be nodding your head in time. It's anthemic, but in a good way, not a Bon Jovi way." Revolution Radio
