Description:
balistica is a musical project established in Austin, TX. Formed by individuals from diverse backgrounds and nationalities; this band presents a new concept, a fresh sound, a different sonic experience.
Experimenting with Punk, Trip hop, 80’s pop, Metal, Rock en Espanol, Techno, and numerous other styles, balistica has, as final objective, to integrate different art forms, forgotten sounds and rhythms, social thoughts and global attitude, all into a unique blend of music.
We describe our music as "Sonic Punk"; we believe it makes sense, since Punk originated from Reggae, Ska, and Dub (which is the foundation of Rock en Espanol). Furthermore, Punk had become "pop" ever since the Sex Pistols, and The Clash made it popular in the late 70’s, then The Pixies, and Nirvana shaped it in the late 80’s and called it "Alternative", and later on Fugazi, and At the Drive-In made it "Emo" in the late 90’s... The way we see it, Punk represents many of the styles that influenced us. With that in mind, the Sonic part of the genre is the, Techno, the 80’s pop, the Hip-Hop, the Electronica beats and melodies that we’d add to the Punk to make it sound more futuristic, and animated. Indeed, Sonic in a way is something that represents our "producer ear" side, a strive for perfection; a beat, a melodic sonic boom, a robotic element that makes rock music be cooked a special way...
