The Irish reply to the Beastie Boys, alt-rock outfit Von Loop, has returned with a furious, unfiltered blast of catharsis in their new track, “Balls.” The song blends alt rock, rap-rock grit, and an indie edge with a tongue-in-cheek Christmas twist, effectively turning real-world frustration into a war cry against corporate coldness. “Balls” was born from a brutally timed redundancy and a pink slip handed out during the Christmas season; instead of breaking under the weight of corporate dehumanization, Von Loop carved their retaliation into a pounding, tribal-driven chant. Sharp, defiant, and unapologetically raw, the track celebrates the sovereignty of the individual and rejects any hierarchy that tries to shrink people into replaceable parts, proving that if someone kicks you while you’re down, you rise louder.
