Four years ago in the depths of Piedmont, California, five wonderful young men came together and formed a band. After multiple attempts at deciding upon a name for themselves, the five men came upon the verdict to be called Dizzy Balloon. In 2008, these five men, Petros A.P (Vocals/Guitar), Jonny Flannes (Guitar), Louie Diller(Drums), Joey Orton (Piano), and Raffi Peterson (bass) released a self-titled album consisting of eleven tracks, which, seemed to exceed any expectations the world had set for them.

The music on the album is anything but empty lyrics and a generic, carbon copy sound. Its the kind of music that can sing and dance to for hours upon end. Its the kind of music that you listen to when you need cheering up when you’re in the worst of moods. It’s that overwhelmingly flawless pop rock that Dizzy Ballon has mastered on this compelling, self-titled album.

The album opens up with Raindrop Residence, and it is indeed one minute and nineteen seconds of love. From start to finish, the album is virtually faultless. Some of their songs, such as Chinatown, sound like preordained radio sensations, While others like Young Love are inevitably going to be your next guilty pleasure. Some of the most memorable songs on the album include A Little Note, Raise A Glass, and What Can I Do. The Queen/Beatles vibe that is hinted throughout the album is really what makes it stand out among the other music in their genre.

So, with an album that has a mix of catchy songs, great vocals, beautifully orchestrated instrumentals, and compelling lyrics, these five young men is deserving of a reputation as one of the most remarkable bands of our time. So, when your looking for an album that will keep your musical thirst satisfied; Dizzy Balloon is exactly what you need.
