Cerebral Ballzy is an American punk rock band from Brooklyn, New York, United States.[3][4] The band was formed in 2008[5] and released their debut, self-titled, album on 26 July 2011.[6] The album was released in full as an online preview on the Revolver magazine website.[7]

Cerebral Ballzy are known for their love of 1980s punk, along with a keen interest in drinking, girls, pizza and skateboarding.[1] The band has received praise for their debut single "Insufficient Fare" and their energetic live performances. According to lead singer Honor Titus, the name Cerebral Ballzy came from a friend who dropped a slice of pizza on a train track and picked it up. Honor said "That was ballsy" and his friend replied "Cerebral Ballsy!", a play on the congenital disorder cerebral palsy.[8][9] Titus is the son of rapper Andres "Dres" Titus, of the acclaimed alternative hip hop duo Black Sheep.

The band has completed a tour of the United States[6] and played major European festivals including Hevy Music Festival, Sonisphere Festival, Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Soundwaves, Roskilde, Eurockéennes and Latitude.[10] They played at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan and the Reading and Leeds festivals in the United Kingdom in August 2011, headlined the 2013 NME Radar Tour,[11] and have played with Flag, Black Lips, The Horrors, Japanther, GBH, The King Blues and FEAR. In 2013, Cerebral Ballzy were signed to Julian Casablancas's label Cult Records.[12][13]

The band disbanded in 2015.
