"Cummin' strait outta Olsdmar" and "makin' punk a threat again since 1999" is the BALLISTIC way of life. 4 boys with more pent-up piss off's than a goddamn George Carlin HBO special. aDAm bOmB-VokAlS, BIlLiE bAlLiSTiC- DRiZuMs, cHaRLIe K. Oz- RUst GuiTAR, bEn- DeF baSs.The band was formed shortly after Adam left The Pukes as a bassist in 1998. He started composing new material and recruited a couple slackers from his high school to start a new band. He dubbed this group BALLISTIC. The band hardly ever practised and had no serious interest in ever becoming more than just a reason to hang out and get into trouble. But as time went by bassist Guido and vocalist Robin moved away and left Adam, Billie, and Charlie with a big hole that had to get filled quick. Within a month the band was back where it left off. Adam left the bass section in the hands of his good friend Ben. Adam Learned to sing and Charlie and Billie quickly followed. After about a month of steady practise they had a set of about eight original songs and were ready for they're first big show. They got a spot opening for a local hard-core act called Cracked at Gasoline Alley and charged the audiance full of pogo madness. Soon after, this Oldsmar based band started booking shows all over. Writing more songs and playing with some of the best local bands the area has to offer. As to date, the band is still playing and gettin into trouble. They have yet to release any professional recording and rely mostly on shows to spread they're music. They book they're own shows, make they're shirts, stickers, patches, and record in Adam's small apartment. They are an amazing band comprised of very amazing people. They are a true defenition of self-dependence and determination.
