Formed in Santa Barbara, California, in 1995, the Mad Caddies quickly emerged as a unique force in the music scene with their original name "The Ivy League". Known for their energetic blend of ska and punk rock, they add unique touches of reggae and jazz to create a distinctive and catchy sound. The band's debut album, "Quality Soft Core," released in 1997, marked the beginning of a series of successful albums, including fan favorites like "Duck and Cover" and "Keep It Going." Over the years, the Mad Caddies have evolved, but their music always remains lively and engaging. Famous for their dynamic and party-like live performances, they have garnered a loyal fan base worldwide. The Mad Caddies continue to be celebrated in the ska and punk music circles, known for their unique sound and exhilarating shows.

Through 25 years and eight independent albums, the last four on their own Right Coast Records, Ballyhoo! have earned the exclamation point which marks their name. Starting in the basement of their mom’s Aberdeen, MD, home, rocking out on guitar and drums respectively, practicing every day, brothers Howi and Donald Spangler formed the proto-punk band in the mold of Green Day and Nirvana, with an eye towards the emerging ska genre led by Goldfinger, Sublime, 311 and No Doubt.

The group’s eighth and most recent studio album, the breezy, ska-fueled, hook-filled Message to the World, on their own Right Coast Records, finds the self-declared “beach-rockers,” having grown up in public, accepting the responsibilities of adulthood while still hanging on to their dreams of world domination.

With its newest members now veterans – keyboardist Vandrey has been in the band since 2000, while bassist Lucera joined in 2014 – Ballyhoo! is ready for what the future brings. Stylistically, their music ranges from the hard-edged punk of 2018’s Detonate, which captured the feelings of anger and depression from dealing with personal loss and the exhaustion generated by over a decade on the road, to the island reggae beats of the follow-up, Message to the World.

“Whatever you want to achieve, just focus on that and work towards it,” explains Howi about the Ballyhoo! ethos. “Don’t worry about followers, views or even money. Just keep making good stuff. One day it may be possible to finally quit that day job and live your dream full time.”

Ballyhoo! is still doing just that, purveying good vibes, positivity and fun live shows meant to take you away from real life for just a little bit.

HEY-SMITH is a Japanese punk band from Osaka that has been quickly gaining attention in music scene over the past few years. The band was formed in Toyonaka Osaka Japan in 2006. Their first full-length album “14-Fourteen-” debuted No. 6 on the Oricon indie chart.
