In The Studio with '8 Balls' at Ampreon Recorder With Studio Owner Pete Drivere.

What a great bunch (who are talented people) I am privileged to know. This image was taken during the recording sessions for the then hoped-for 'That Was Then... This Is Wow' album by the Youngstown based group, '8 Balls'. From Left - Myself, Bottom Middle - Timber Gilliland, Top Middle - Sandy Naples, Bottom Right - Pete Drivere (engineer at Ampreon Recorder).

The long-awaited album was released on June 16, 2018 (and has been well received). The recordings exhibit the raw, hooley feel that the band has been identified with all through their thirty-five (plus) year history. Fans and newbies will admire the traditional Rock 'n' Roll meets garage punk approach that encompasses the groups sound.

Several staple songs the band performs live in, around and beyond the Youngstown, Ohio area were essentially put to tape (so to speak) in order to capture them as a piece of history as well as preserve them into the ages.
