The five guys of Ball in the House don't need instruments to make music. They redefine pop by presenting it a capella style, with just their voices. - Milva Didomizio, Boston Globe.
It's a tribute to Boston's Ball in the House that the first thing you marvel at upon hearing it's debut is the beauty of the songs - a tasty melange of classic street corner soul, funk and hip hop - and the remarkable way the band's five voices interlock. - Entertainment section, Boston Herald.
