The Atlanta/Brooklyn `Cudas five-piece are in our books the ramones-y DICTATORS and revved-up CHEAP TRICK! They take this whole genre on a album long donkey ride! We traveled to the US to see many many bands, always one of our favorite shows was the BARRERACUDAS. Actually, it´s been the most substantial argument in the decision taking and we ended up singing their old songs and unreleased songs for years.
Their live show presence around front man Adrian Barrera is huge they take rocknroll where it comes from and simply feels like home. Their great debut "Nocturnal Missions" is already from 2011 so we´re after this long-awaited new record supposed to be ready-any-day for a while now. "Can Do Easy" is worth the wait, it has not only their 2014 impossibly good hit single "Promises" (rising to #1 on the WFMU charts) included, also eleven more infectious from HEARTBREAKERS to HEARTBREAKERS (Tom Petty vs. Thunders) comedy rock smashers. You have to love this band. The BARRERACUDAS have underground rock cult status and we´re joining this gang in our rocknroll daydreaming. Members from The HISS, GENTLEMEN JESSE & HIS MEN and BEATBEATBEAT. THIN LIZZY not yet.
