NOVEDADES MAGAZINE Said: This band is one to keep a close eye on. They manage the perfect equilibrium (not always all that easy to find) between the mainstream melodies and their rockin guitar sound

EL PAIS "TENTACIONES" Said: Harsh guitars mixed with an angel-like voice could be the perfect combination that We Are Balboa seems to master

MONDO SONORO Said: One of the freshest and inspiring sounds we have heard coming from Madrid. We Are Balboa deliver a vigorous sounding Pop which remind us of the best McDonald brothers (Redd Kross) albums.

EL MUNDO "METROPOLIS" Said: Amazing !!! We Are Balboa have burst into the music scene with the most energetic and rock sounding songs we could have ever expected

WATCH US ON SPANISH TV (FLY MUSIC) We'll subtitle it in english shortly!
