Hailing from the outskirts of Detroit Rock City, Ballz Deluxe is purely ballz out, original rock n' roll that puts you in the mood to party. With honest, melodic hooks, catchy choruses, and heavy grooves, not to mention a reputation for putting on a no holds barred, energetic live show, Ballz Deluxe is flying the flag for dirty, dynamic, in your face, heavy rock. Collectively, the band is a melting pot of many different musical tastes and backgrounds, ranging from the likes of extreme metal to old school and modern rock, and even pop music. It makes for the interesting dynamic that is evident in the originality of their music.
Fronted by Rick Drinkard, with his deep, throaty, attitude-laden vocals and commanding stage presence, along with Scott Christy's crunching rhythms; progressive and sometimes, outlandish, lead guitar work from Chuck Moberg; Zuby's driving, bottom end bass lines, and some powerful, intelligent drum chops from Justin Richter, Ballz Deluxe is all about delivering the goods in the studio and on the stage. There are no egos. To Ballz Deluxe, it's all about good times and the love of playing good music together, all while putting on a fun, energetic live performance for the fans. They're the guys you'll find at the back of the bar, posing for pictures, signing autographs and interacting with the fans, rather than hiding out on a tour bus after the show is over.
Since 2007, Ballz Deluxe has been embraced by metro-Detroit and beyond. Releasing a widely accepted debut album in mid-2008, and the followup "Volume II" in 2010, receiving continued radio airplay and support from Detroit's 101.1 WRIF and Flint's 101.5 WWBN, and sharing the stage with other high profile local and national acts such as Tantric, Rev Theory, Pop Evil, Saliva, and more, the Ballz crew are certainly ready to spread their dose of Pure Detroit Rock N' Roll to the masses - Detroit Rock Review
