towniecore Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Anyone into these guys? They get advertised on Adult Swim. I'm diggin the album but can't help but think the whole image/style is a gimmick. http://cerebralballzy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendsneverdie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm thinking it's a gimmick too. I think adult swim is trying to get on the indie succes Trash Talk and Fucked Up are getting. Trying to make a sort of modern day Black Flag mixed with Trash Talk. Not into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 worst band name... ever? maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 these guys played the strung out/face to face tour....holy shit they were horrible. Not only that they are just a bunch of hipster wanna-be punk kids. One of the guitarists is the son of the CEO of Kinkos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains why the have well produced music videos for like half the album already. Watched a live video and I totally agree, they suck live.

moe Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Fake Bullshit. Wow they were drunk before they were signed well hell I guess they're real. No...terrible manufactured punk. The fact they got to open for OFF! over tons of other bands that are actually good sucks. Boy band of punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealmuntz Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I saw them open for Face to Face/Strung Out. They might have been the worst band I've ever seen - fucking TERRIBLE market research "punk" It pisses me off everytime I see their name even mentioned anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towniecore Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Are there any newer bands playing music similar to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicity Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 worst band name... ever?maybe Some friends of mine wanted to name their kickball team Cerebral Ballsy, but it was rejected because it was deemed insensitive or offensive or whatever. That's all. I don't really have anything else to add to this thread. I think I checked these guys out a year ago and immediately forgot about them.

That's all. I don't really have anything else to add to this thread. I think I checked these guys out a year ago and immediately forgot about them. for a kickball team, the name is reasonable and pretty alright... thankfully when they played with OFF! over here, Cerebal Ballzy was the last band to play so me and most of the crowd left.

fschoenleber10 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Their wiki is outrageous. Only reason I read it cause I saw their video on Adult Swim and had to know what the fuck it was. My two favorite exerts : Cerebral Ballzy are known for their love of 80s punk, along with a keen interest in drinking, girls, pizza and skateboarding. According to the lead singer, Honor Titus, the name Cerebral Ballzy came from a friend who dropped a slice of pizza on a train track and picked it up. Honor said “That was ballsy” and his friend replied “Cerebral Ballsy!”. I mean I can't hate on them. I think it's fun to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
