Career

[edit]

Formation and early releases

[edit]

Ball Park Music was formed in 2008 when all five members were chosen to form a band for an assignment at the Queensland University of Technology.[2] Frontman Sam Cromack came up with the band name years prior as a teenager.[3]

In April 2009, the band independently released their first extended play (EP), Rolling on the Floor, Laughing Ourselves to Sleep.[4] It was quickly championed by Triple J presenter Steph Hughes, who gave an early version of "All I Want Is You" and "Black Skies" their first national airplay.[5]

In 2010, the band released their second EP, Conquer the Town, Easy as Cake. It included the band's first Triple J hit, "iFly", which was added to high rotation and received a five-star rating from Richard Kingsmill.[6] Another song, "Western Whirl", was nominated for both Best Alternative and The Courier-Mail People's Choice Awards at the 2010 Q Song Awards.[7]

In October 2010, the band embarked on their first Australian tour in October with Hungry Kids of Hungary and Big Scary[8] and released the single "Sad Rude Future Dude",[9] which was placed on rotation by Triple J.

Ball Park Music was named as a Triple J New Crop artist ("one of the 20 best new bands in Australia") in November 2010.[10] Further, they were the Queensland winner of a Triple J Unearthed competition and won the chance to play at Big Day Out 2011.[11]

2011: Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs

In June 2011, Ball Park Music released "Rich People Are Stupid" which was put on high rotation on Triple J.[12] On 24 June 2011, Ball Park Music signed to Sydney label Stop Start Music to release their debut album.[13] "It's Nice to Be Alive" was released in July 2011, and its music video won the Channel [V] Ripe Clip of the Week.[14] "It's Nice to Be Alive" was featured in the film Blended (2014)[15] and the fifth season of Gossip Girl.[16] The track reached certified platinum status in Australia in 2021.[17]

The band's debut studio album Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs was released in Australia and New Zealand on 9 September and debuted on the Australian ARIA Album Chart the following week at number 36. Ball Park Music embarked on a four-date headline tour with Adelaide rock outfit City Riots on the How I Met Ball Park Music Tour,[18] which was followed by another headline tour to launch their debut album in October with Northeast Party House and The Jungle Giants. Immediately following that, they embarked as main support for Boy & Bear on their "Moonfire Tour".

In November, Ball Park Music were named the Unearthed Artist of the Year at the J Awards, and nominated for the 2011 J Award.[19]

In December it was announced that Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs was voted number 10 in Triple J's Top 10 Albums of 2014 and number two in The AU Review's album poll.[20] To finish off 2011, the band played Peats Ridge Festival and Pyramid Rock in Brisbane.[21][22]

2012: Museum

[edit]

Ball Park Music began 2012 by announcing The 180° Tour, described as "their most ambitious tour yet", with 14 dates supported by Nantes and Cub Scouts.[23] The band was also added to the 2012 Groovin' the Moo line-up as well as Splendour in the Grass.[24][25]

On 23 March 2012, Ball Park Music performed on Triple J's live music segment Like a Version, where they performed their single "All I Want Is You" followed by a cover of the Flaming Lips song "Do You Realize??".[26]

On 20 July 2012, it was announced that the band would release new music and released the single "Surrender" leading into their set at Splendour in the Grass. It was followed by the announcement of a second album.[27] Museum was released in Australia on 5 October 2012[28] and it was named Triple J's Feature Album the following week. The album peaked at number nine on the ARIA charts.

It debuted at number 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

2017–2018: Good Mood

[edit]

In September 2017, Ball Park Music released "Exactly How You Are", the lead single to their fifth studio album.[34] The song would later poll at number 18 in the Hottest 100 of 2017, and reach certified platinum status in Australia in 2021.[17] "The Perfect Life Does Not Exist" was released in December 2017 as the second single.[35] Good Mood was released on 16 February 2018, supported by a national tour in February and March with Ali Barter and Hatchie. "Hands Off My Body" was added to the official NBA 2K19 soundtrack, curated by Travis Scott. The album was nominated in three categories at the ARIA Music Awards of 2018Producer of the Year, Engineer of the Year and Best Cover Art.[36]

A scheduled tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, although the release of the self-titled album in October 2020 was followed by a concert residency at a venue in Brisbane.[40] The album included the track "Cherub", which was considered a strong contender to reach #1 in the lead-up to the Triple J Hottest 100, 2020.[41] It placed on the list at #4, beating their previous best, "Exactly How You Are", from 2017.
