Cerebral Ballzy were born and raised in East New York’s grimy core but instead of crying about it, they scream their way through a sprawling mess of 80s-hardcore and punk rock on their self-titled release which hit July 26 via Adult Swim’s Williams Street Records.  The band and director Vice Cooler (Peaches, Deerhoof) came together on July 4th weekend in Costa Mesa at the Volcom House to film the video for “Junky For Her<http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2011/08/01/cerebral-ballzy-have-a-new-video/>” and the finished product is a gritty throwback to 70’s gore flicks complete with slumber parties, blood, vomit and some very, very, very angry girls.

Vice Cooler, excited about the video and the band said ““Cerebral Ballzy are the real deal. There isn’t much division between their music and real life. Whether they were showing up completely wasted or being distracted by everything around them—skateboards, girls, and even a gun that was in the house—they kept me on my toes the whole time. Needless to say me and the crew were not shocked when Honor actually blacked out during the last scenes of him. And those scenes were the most physical and violent.” Watch the video now at Vice Magazine<http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2011/08/01/cerebral-ballzy-have-a-new-video/>!

Led by frontman Honor Titus and bassist Melvin Honore, Cerebral Ballzy works to restore something golden to New York’s punk rock history – balls.   The bands self-titled debut features tracks like “Insufficient Fare” and “Don’t Tell Me What To Do,” telling the story of broken homes and broken bones while capturing the teenage punks’ experience growing up in the Big Apple’s rotten center.  Already dubbed “New York’s next great band” by the NME, Cerebral Ballzy have toured the UK and Europe twice, performing with Anthrax, Fucked Up and OFF! and the band continues its never-ending tour, jumping headfirst off every monitor and vomiting into every pit.
