About this album
Ball Power is a landmark of early Australian hard rock, delivering Coloured Balls’ rough-edged swagger with a force that still feels uncompromising. Issued in 1973, the band’s debut captured the tough, streetwise sound that helped define the local pub-rock spirit before it fully took shape. Frontman Lobby Loyde drove the record with muscular guitar work and an unvarnished attitude, while songs such as Flash and Whole Lotta Shakin' show the group’s blend of blues-rooted riffing, punkish bite and good-time momentum. Long admired as one of the key Australian rock albums of its era, it remains a fierce statement of intent.
