Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Dan Reilly There were thousands of artists in Austin for SXSW , and I saw a lot of them. This year, I decided to challenge myself and write about every band I caught, no matter how much of their set I saw. Most of these "reviews" were pieced together from my illegible notebook scribblings, but that's all I've got. Enjoy... or something. Lord Huron [...]
I've been jamming out to the Barreracudas for quite some time, having fallen head over heels for Nocturnal Missions , their last LP. But, this summer they kicked out the jams with a new 73 for Windian Records , hopefully to pass the time as they record a new full-length. If you like your guitars shredded fast with a bit of keyboard in the background to propel things in the direction of sugary goodness, then you'll absolutely love this track. Oh, and that slight [...]

The hot mess that is SXSW is officially over, though the effects are still lingering, and may for some time. We're all different people here at ATH, so we wanted to offer you our varied opinions on the festival, so read on about my personal reflections on the fest... Best Bands: Snowmine / Bad Sports : Snowmine jammed it out at our party, and they just sounded beautiful. Their organic songwriting won everyone over, and I'm hoping the love spreads. Bad Sports rocked the Beerland patio in [...]

Don't Roll Your Eyes Girl The flurry of great garage music coming out that is super-saturated with power pop continues with The Barreracudas out of Atlanta. Their debut release, Nocturnal Missions , was released October 25 on Douchemaster Records . Many of the members have been [...]
Fantastic Cheap Trick-esque garage power-pop from Barreracudas . Mp3- Barreracudas - Don't Roll Your Eyes Buy Nocturnal Missions at Insound
I'm almost spent on the influx of 70s cock-rock that's bouncing around the internets these days ... but there seems to still be a little bit of space open in my brain because The Barreracudas fit the genre but pulled the corners of my mouth in to a big toothy grin. My feet start tapping [...]
There's something about 2011 that just seems perfectly aligned for a massive influx of garage punk with a heavy dose of power-pop glitter and plenty of glam swagger. Sitting on the shelf next to your newly purchased Bare Wires, Bad Sports and Mickey releases you'll need to clear a slot for the latest offering from The Barreracudas. The cheekily titled Nocturnal Missions sounds carved straight out of the 77-81 reign of wide-eyed power poppers, even going so far as to cover a nugget from the Cheap Trick catalog. The biggest contrarian arguments I've seen against the current crop [...]

Davila 666 And now three reasons to shake your tail feather on over to the Empty Bottle tonight... 1. Proving that unincorporated territories can rock just as hard as the United States, Puerto Rico's Davila 666 brings their brand of rock 'n' roll to the Empty Bottle tonight. Davila 666 goes for dirty guitars with minimal, occasionally punky rhythms that balances the line of garage pop and flower punk. "Basura" features nasally hooks over dive bar riffs, while "Sabes que quiero" offers a janglier feel with a [...]

Any of you out there still in love with the Exploding Hearts ? Well, you should be, but if you're looking for something new to help stoke the old power-pop flame, you need to check out this new jam from The Barreracudas . The band has a new album, Nocturnal Missions , coming out in stores on October 25th via Douchemaster Records . It's a pretty straightforward rocker, but in the best way possible. I mean, come on, who doesn't love sing-a-long rockers? And, [...]
Not tremendously stoked on how these turned out, although there are a few shots here that I like. I just bought a new Nikon D3100 and I'm not used to it yet. Too many damn buttons. Anyway, enjoy. View Photo Album
