As the freshest faces on the Brisbane rock block, Ball Park Music have quickly developed a reputation as one of the most exciting bands around. Just ask the likes of fellow pop-purveyors Philadelphia Grand Jury, Deep Sea Arcade, Boy & Bear, Hungry Kids of Hungary and The Boat People and they will tell you that the six-headed pop juggernaut are an onstage force to be reckoned with.

And now the band are about to put another EP release where their rock-chops are with the approaching launch of Conquer The Town, Easy As Cake – a five-track servicing of pop deliciousness that covers the musical spectrum. Bookended by the opening radio-bliss, naughtiness of ‘iFly’ (you’ll see) and the simply sublime strum of ‘Western Whirl’, the EP also features the clap-tastic ‘The Ghost I Saw When I Was Dreaming’, recent single ‘Sea Strangers (I Don’t Even Know You)’ and the four minute masterpiece ‘Hello Anais’, with a climax and brass solo bound to catch Tarantino attention.

Having produced their debut EP Rolling On The Floor, Laughing Ourselves To Sleep themselves, the band opted to work with Tristan Hoogland at Brisbane’s Psi-Fi Studios this time around, cutting over 15 songs. Partnering three of the resulting songs with brand new productions from frontman Sam Cromack, the EP shows the sextet’s impressive diversity, songwriting prowess and clever musicality.

Still a band in their infancy, Ball Park Music have quickly formed a strong fanbase around Brisbane, finally taking their crowd-pleasing affair to Sydney recently, opening for Hungry Kids of Hungary’s sell-out show at Oxford Arts Factory with Boy & Bear and Ernest Ellis. Previous single ‘Sea Strangers (I Don’t Really Know You)’ featured a voodoo-fest that quickly became a Home & Hosed blog feature as well as snaring Indie Of The Week title with Rage.

See what all the fuss is about when Ball Park Music launch Conquer The Town, Easy As Cake at the Zoo Friday May 21 with the able assistance of Blame Ringo and Tin Can Radio.
