What the Press are saying :

'Ballroom Blitz's'

"A great album – highly recommended"
Planet Mosh

"Really well-crafted songs, this is a really good album"
Metal Planet Music

Invisible Enemy’ is a fine record put out in uncertain times. Give it a listen, enjoy, and cross your fingers this wonderful band will continue well into the future. "The music is emotive and is almost tactile in the way it surrounds you, and then embraces you. In this digital age with blast beats, samples and screams this is a little island of pureness that still looks forward rather than in the rear view mirror. Joanovarc may just have produced one of the best rock albums of the year. "
