80s punk rock is alive! Brooklyn-based Cerebral Ballzy are bringing their underground vibe to the mainstage, especially now after signing to Cult Records at the hand of The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas. The raw sound of their 2011 debut LP got them a lot of attention, and their recent signing and release of single “Better In Leather,” complete with fuzzed-up guitars, the raspy vocals of frontman Honor Titus, and the energy of a rabid wolverine, secures their spot as a major player in the current punk scene. The band will be touring the UK in the second half of November, listen to the ballsy track below via Soundcloud. – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
