The Balboas have today released their new 13 track full length, Bite! Blood! Repeat!, that sees the band tearing into their blend of Punk Rock, Rockabilly and Garage Rock.

Repeat!’ is a product of The Balboas time tested process, the album title isn’t just wordplay from song lyrics, it signifies the way The Balboas go about their business. The album also features contributions from Mike Watt (Minutemen), Paul Roessler (Screamers / 45 Grave), Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers), Kitten Kuroi (Billy Idol) and The 5.6.7.8.s.

“When you see piranhas in action you think chaos, but piranhas are extremely organized and efficient, allowing them to strip a carcass to the bone and distribute food in seconds. It’s a dynamic The Balboas are familiar with. When you first drop the needle on a Balboas record, all you hear is chaos. But, the Balboas are far from random when it comes to making a record, they are methodical as fuck” (guitarist Richard Griffith)
