In anticipation of the release of their 5th studio album, Ballyhoo! surprised their fans today with a full album stream of Pineapple Grenade via ARTISTdirect - one week prior to the official release on June 25th. Check out the full album streaming exclusively on ARTISTdirect, here: http://bit.ly/PGartistd.

Pre-order Pineapple Grenade on iTunes for digital copies and on Ballyhoo!'s website www.ballyhoorocks.com for physical copies. iTunes pre-order includes 2 bonus tracks and physical pre-order includes 1 free song and t-shirt bundling options.

The new 14-track album is a step forward for the band in many ways, including a new track produced by Rome Ramirez (Sublime with Rome) and mixed by Paul Leary (U2, Sublime).

Alongside the album release, Ballyhoo! is currently co-headlining the 2013 Summer Sickness Tour with Authority Zero and special guests Versus The World. The 2-month trek kicked off on May 31 in Tempe, AZ and includes 40+ shows across 27 states spanning from California to Canada to Florida.

Pineapple Grenade is Ballyhoo!'s first new album since releasing Daydreams in the Fall of 2011, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Reggae Charts and #4 on Amazon. The success of Daydreams led the band to navigate their most successful year yet, playing 166 shows in 2012 including the Vans Warped Tour, the 311 Caribbean Cruise in 2012 and 2013, Bamboozle, and a national tour with Tribal Seeds. Ballyhoo!'s fanbase continues to grow through steadfast touring, leading to the band to reach #1 on SiriusXM Faction.

Ballyhoo!'s relaxed sound mixed with the band's energetic performance style has been gaining a reputation on the national alternative radio scene as well. Highlights of Ballyhoo!'s radio play include: HFS Baltimore, WWDC Washington DC, SiriusXM Faction, WRFF Philadelphia, KUCD Honolulu, KRAB Bakersfield, WEND Charlotte, WARQ Columbia, KITS San Francisco, WJRR Orlando, WRKN New Orleans, KFMA Tucson, WRRV Hudson Valley, WXDX Pittsburgh, WSUN Tampa, and KDJE Little Rock.
