The Barracudas - "Hour of Degradation"

Postby unguarded moment » Sun Dec 10, 2006 12:43 pm

To quote the respected Trouser Press, The Barracudas play an "effortless and catchy '60'sish blend of punky pop, vintage rock'n'roll, mock Merseybeat, snarly mild psychedelia and Byrdsy 12-string folk-rock." If you like this kind of thing I would suggest checking out their debut album "Drop Out With The Barracudas", recently remastered, and at a bargain price.

This tune is from 1982. It was originally issued on a mini album of previously released singles and, although that album was never reissued on CD this particular song did appear on the subsequent CD "Two Sides of a Coin", now out of print.

Thanks unguarded! I had never heard of them before. I rather like it. Sort of like The Alarm meets Phil Spector.

Thanks for posting it. :)

Cheers.
