Formed inm 2017, Ballkick is a metallic hardcore band featuring musicians based in both Poland and the UK. Their sound was influenced by everyone from 25 ta Life to Kickback to Madball, so expect maximum spinkick action at their shows.
Ballkick's musical output includes two EPs—2019's Short and Painful and 2022's History Makers—and a handful of singles.
Part of the Upstate Records Europe family, the group just dropped their debut album, Metallic Taste of Betrayal, and it features guest vocals from James “Stikman” Ismean (Fury of Five, 25 ta Life) and Chris Rafalowich (Blackest Dawn, Shattered Realm).
Check out a track from the new record called "You Against Me" to whet your appetite:
To celebrate the release of the album, Ballkick will head out on a promotional tour that will begin in the UK on September 12th and continue on across Europe. The dates are listed below.
