What they say about us:

“The three very strong songs leave the listener wanting more!” (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, MusicFromNL, July 2008)

“If this is an indication of what is to come, Holland will get a top record” (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, OOR, August 2008)

"Rage Against The Machine, A Perfect Circle, Tool (...); not the least of names, and a healthy ambition can not be denied. A high standard to live up up to, but the first steps in the right direction are taken" (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, Aardschok, September 2008)

“Without being able to put on much resistance, you will find yourself in the universe of Tarball drenched with merciless sounds, where a melancholic kind of darkness dominates” (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, Fret, October 2008)

“The Tool inspired rock (among others) is very solid and the diversity of the songs doesn’t stand in the way of the impact as a whole.” (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, MusicFromNL, July 2008)

“With the third and last track ‘Judge Me’ as the absolute high point Tarball’s EP ‘Bite the Bullet’ makes good on the promises made by their first demo ‘Mine to Take’.” (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, 3voor12, June 2008)

“Bite the Bullet is an EP that will definitely impress booking agents and music journalists. The songs are composed well and the overall sound is good.” (Review ‘Bite the Bullet’, The Bullet Reviews, June 2008)

“Tight riffs, larger-than-life-vocals, prominent drums. Probably influenced by Tool and System of a Down but fortunately Tarball is not just a copy of those bands. The inspiration sources are clearly visible but Tarball mixes in enough different stuff to create their own sound.” (Demo review ‘Mine to Take’, 3voor12, 2006)

“Good compositions with beautiful intros, surprising and original transitions, splendid use of sound effects, lots of diversity in dynamics and intonation”. (Jury Red Ears Festival, qualifying round, January 2005)

“The singer’s voice must be the revelation of this festival. We will be hearing more of these guys for sure.” (Jury Red Ears Festival, finals, February 2005)
