Artist description Ballista (aka "The Make" previous to 1999) is an Oklahoma City based trio with a style that blends funk, hip-hop, and metal. The band formed in early 1995 and released their first CD in September 1996 entitled "Dead Mouse." Since then the band has: gone through three guitarists, written a sh*tload of new material, and started cutting a new record (release date forthcoming).

Artist History In world full of canned rock, media hype, and lackluster talent Ballista is a breath of fresh air. With a musical styling reminiscent of bands such as Linkin Park, 311, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ballista brings a unique blend of liquid funk, rhythmic metal, and progressive modern rock to the table. Ballista may be a fresh face on the music scene but have already made their mark - winning "Alternative Rock Artist of The Year" and "Rock Entertainer of The Year" from New Artist Radio.
