Happy Days ,really like these guys ,their last album Untamed(also produced by Jona Tee) received quite a lot of airplay from me and was a definite step up from Traded Dreams , which in itself wasn't a bad release. Will look forward to seeing where they now go and hope they don't do a Bloody Heels on me.

Apart from a handful of songs I’m not particularly a fan of Traded Dreams. Untamed however is awesome, I still play that regularly. Jona did a great job and I’m sure he will deliver again. Great talent in the band and I think they’ll release their best yet. Looking forward to the single next Friday.

Great band. Looking forward to it.

[LukeF]

Awesome. Definitely looking forward to this release.

I remember being unimpressed by a track or 2 from the band but I don't remember what release it was...maybe I need to check out Untamed....

Just do it. That's a monster album.

[Aordave89]

Man the first single kicks ass! Uptempo, anthemic and a ripping guitar solo. These guys play straight up rock and I love it. 
 

Official video out later today -

Oh yes, I like that,looking forward to this release and that sounds very nice indeed  

[Crazysam]

Glad to see the guys brought Jona back to produce.  He seemed to help them take a step forward with their last album.  And the new tune picks up where that one left off, I like it.

[tts42572]

It's okay but to me, there were quite a few better tunes than this on their last album which I thought was great.  I feel like the vocals sound strained here and are kind of the weak point in the song.  I think the music and production is what saves the tune and not so much the vocals/lyrics.

Maybe I'm just not awake yet lol.

Still interested to hear what else this album has in store.

Sounds exactly like H.e.a.t even the songwriting and the voice but as I love H.e.a.t that's not a bad thing to me

Have you met tts42572  

[AlphaMale]

Sounds killer

 

[The Rocker]

I like that!

[Stefan]

Meh, unimpressed. The sound is great, the production also. But the song in itself lacks the quality. I was expecting a better song.

Doesn't sound like H.E.A.T to me...at least not this tune.

I hear some H.E.A.T elements in the production but vocalist nowhere near Erik or Kenny.

Do still think this could be a decent album though.

[Thomas/Coastline]

Regarding the band name, are "balls" the same as the jizzing stones we men have or is it just stones or what is it?

[Darkstone]

Judging by their album covers, I'm guessing it's a reference to the Aztec/Mayan/Meso American ritual ball game.

I have no idea why a band from Finland would choose this imagery.

It's a drug as far as I know.

Ha! Yeah, you're right.

I just checked it out and it's slang for a type of hashish apparently.

I get a bit of Eclipse in there and a shade of HEAT. Good tune. Look forward to more.

Just listened to the 1 minute samples on itunes, this is going to be a very good year for our music!
