What do I see here? A videoooo?!?!??! Maybe idk the text is kinda blurry 

[nowshesgone]

what if the reason for all of the kerplunk references as of late is because Ballyhoo is written/maybe even sounds like a modern kerplunk song

[alecandstuff]

Throwing my prediction out there, given the definition of the word, that “Ballyhoo” is going to be a loud, explosive sort of track.

I’m hoping somewhere along the lines of “Let Yourself Go” or “Wow! That’s Loud!” in terms of energy, at least that would be my preference PERSONALLY 

[Mollyluna]

Does anyone know at what exact time Ballyhoo will be released on Friday?

Both Coachella promos had the kerplunk flower prominently featured and iirc 7/11 has a kerplunk slurpee rn

Really love Smash It Like Belushi, I'm sure others will be awesome as well. The into to Ballyhoo sounds promising. May 2nd can't come quick enough. It's a bummer though having to wait 'till 23rd for rest.

Lmao just enough to show it's probably another standard b-side type song, looking forward to it though

The full version of Ballyhoo is out if you know where to look ; ) It has Trilogy vibes. I think it doesn't fit the Saviors standard tracklist so it is understandable why it is a bonus song on the deluxe edition. I can't decide if I like Smash It Like Belushi more but Ballyhoo will definitely be some fans'  favorite. Fun song 👍

[Karl Karlson]

I'm not really getting into those 2 new songs, there were also 1-2 skipables for me on Saviors, but I'm looking forward to the acoustic versions.

Honestly loving Ballyhoo. Sounds like Sex, Drugs & Violence mixed with Pollyanna

[alecandstuff]

Ballyhoo is pretty decent. I love the falsettos and the production (and overall structure) sounds so trilogy, which I do like! It’s fine, it’s not amazing, but it is fun!

Ditto! Love that part tbh

[Clockwise]

Not mindblowing, but listening to it just makes me wanna cry because I love this band so much lol

[GreenDayJunkie86]

I haven't listened to Ballyhoo yet, and it seems I can't anymore. Maybe it was an early release for a lil and then shut down until tomorrow  dang why do I miss everything

If you have a VPN, you can find it on streaming or YouTube... (or just if you live in an area where it's May 2nd)

Yeah, I guess ill move to the UK and back so I can listen to Ballyhoo.....seems logical to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[emenius]

Actually really rate this one also- power pop with a bit more inventive song construction and instrumentation than some of their more mediocre tracks in recent years.

[Christian's Inferno!]

So I just listened to it and yeah, it's alright. Nothing much to say about it tbh.
