Dizzy Balloon is five friends who love writing songs. Their sound is unique in a world gone “hard core” and “indie.” It isn’t a trend, a genre, or a fashion statement. It’s not lazy, or boring, or melancholic. It’s a new generation of energetic, optimistic, well-crafted pop rock. Listen in. And for heaven's sake, turn it up!
"Owners of Live 105's 1 most requested local track of 2008 -the super infectious RAISE A GLASS- Dizzy Balloon victoriously were crowned champs of the NSSN 2008 local band competition... opening for KILLERS, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, FRANZ FERDINAND and BLOC PARTY. Catch them in action this Friday as they headline Slim's.
(yes, how many other new local bands can do that I ask?)"
-Aaron Axelsen, KITS Live 105 (105.3 FM)
"Young outfits such as this San Francisco quintet can launch careers at SXSW, and Dizzy Balloon just might have, considering the label honchos that stopped by their rooftop set... Fun-fun-fun songs about girls-girls-girls, all done smartly. The Beatles on Wellbutrin... Play, bounce, repeat."
-Kevin Bronson, buzzbands.la
"By its senior year, the band was mingling with the upper class of the local indie rock scene, landing gigs at venues such as Cafe du Nord and Slim's, and becoming recognized as one of the Bay Area's hottest up-and-coming bands."
-East Bay Express
“Why settle for something average and run-of-the-mill when you can sit back and listen to these guys? With well-crafted guitar parts and cutting synth tracks, there’s just simply no reason not to give this band your full attention. Not to mention, their reputation of being a phenomenal live act.

"My highest votes went to Dizzy Balloon, a band with an infectious pop sensibility. They were like the class clowns in AP English -- juvenile without being delinquents, fun yet smart, and succeeding in making the folks around them really happy."
