Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (2001 – present)

Balboa is a post-hardcore / post-metal type band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The members met on September 11 2001 at a canceled house show. Originally part of the Set Sail Collective a DIY positive music space in West Philly, Balboa writes songs with many political leanings. They have toured the US as well as Japan multiple times. Pin-pointing a genre or reason for this band seems nothing greater than just four long time friends using Balboa as a vessel to play music and share ideas. Songs in English, French, and Spanish.

"Boys in the Creek" is indeed Balboa from West Philly. It was recorded during the "attic" sessions. A new album is dropping on mid march records. I saw the drummer and bass players other band ELDER recently, and they said Balboa is still going strong. Translation Loss Records is putting out a discog.

deletedunknown, this demo is not Philly Balboa, it says it's some other band, sludge\hardcore, however. And I am confused about myspace tracks: 'Boys In The Creeks' eventually not in the Balboa's known style, I suspect that it's some other hardcore band again. But 'Rotgut' & 'Bury The Lies' seems to be the right tracks. Ufff

Anybody have any info on the Balboa with the demo on this site? http://hard-muzik.com.ua/2008/01/04/ I'm a fan, though Philly Balboa plays circles around the one from my link.

I emailed the band about putting other pictures on this site...they didn't seem interested, hhaha...I also am not a fan of that random grey picture,I'm actually not even sure where it came from. I know they update the myspace often, and it contains great pictures!! So go check that out! Also, I have a feeling a new record is dropping on a European Label. There is a new song called "boys in the creek" and I love it.
