Iron City Beer goes great w/pop punk. We need your vote!
We made it to THE FINALS to become a Sound Ambassador for Iron City Beer (delicious beverage / Pittsburgh icon) and win $5,000.
This is a major opportunity for a DIY band like us and it’s completely up to you if we’re gonna make it. The final winner is determined by a public vote, and you can vote for Mace Ballard once per day!
So, if you’ve ever listened to us, seen us play, heard our name, or if you just like to support music, please vote for us once a day until May 1 at: http://www.ironcitysound.com/voting

HELLO FRIENDS!
We, MACE BALLARD, are currently in the studio recording 2 BRAND NEW rock n’ roll tunes for your ears to enjoy! We’re back visiting our good pal Kory Gable at Pin Up Studios in Lancaster, PA, and so far are having a killer time!
As I type this, we’ve finished recording both drums and bass, and Brandon is about 50% finished recording his guitar parts. Tomorrow will be another full day of recording last minute guitar riffs and then it’s on to vocals! We’ve got some BIG surprises in store for you guys, I can’t say what exactly, but be prepared for some serious face-melting to occur!
In the meantime, head over to our facebook page @Maceballard and check out our full-length album The Next Time You See Sky, which we recorded here this past summer! Also, while you’re there, be sure to check out our up-coming show dates — We’re currently booking a few weeks out on the road this Spring, so be sure to check back often to see if your town is on the list!
Cinematic pop punk: Time Machines Exist video !
The album is out now! Get it on iTunes, physical copy, or at the show tonight.
Reviews for The Next Time You See Sky are coming in! (more on the way)
The first one is from the Pittsburgh City Paper:
“The Next Time You See Sky is a 44-minute blast of contemporary pop-punk with glossy production, but an old-school spirit underneath.
The result is impressive — there’s an element of the post-emo “new pop-punk,” but not enough to make the record same-y. There are moments — sing-along choruses, overdubs that highlight particularly triumphant riffs — that make the record sound truly huge.” -Andy Mulkerin
The second one is from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“The songs come with clever titles like ‘Words With Friends’ and ‘South Side Department of Tourism,’ and sometimes skew topical, like ‘Fight at the Museum.’” - Scott Mervis
The most important review, though, will come from YOU. Here is a teaser clip, you can hear it all THIS WEEKEND!
