"Any band with the word "balls" in its name should be, well, ballsy, and one-of-a-kind torch singer Storm Large and her three-man backing band the Balls don't disappoint. The commanding, 6-foot blond vixen cleverly twists rock and heavy-metal hits, American classics and everything in between into absurd and poignant renditions best described as loungecore. In Storm's world, Abba and Iron Butterfly coexist harmoniously in "Abba-Gadda-Davida," and it's perfectly normal to revisit Metallica, the Cramps and "The Star-Spangled Banner" in one raucous evening. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Storm's Balls consist of skilled ex-members of Everclear and Motherload. The Balls are crazy, sexy punk rock jazz. They run the gamut of live metal mash-up to heart wrenching torch songs. The band is super tight, and Storm could be Charlize Theron's big ex-con sister who will scare you into loving her forever." ~ Best of Portland by Byron Beck for Willamette Week
