Barricades formed in the summer of 2008 by fellow Braintree locals Dan Norton (Drums), Jared Walsh (Guitar/Vox), Chris Norton (Guitar/Vox) and Norm Earnest (Bass). Since their inception the group has gone through a slight line-up change; Norm has moved to Korea to teach English and Justin Lutz has taken up Slappin’ Da Beeass for the quartet. Having just recently released their debut E.P. “Strong Foundations” on iTunes, Barricades is just getting started.
Their Alternative Pop Rock sound is somewhat Deathcab-esque and is beautifully complemented by the 2-part harmonies of Jared and Chris who aren’t afraid to share the vocal spotlight. You can expect a physical release of “Strong Foundations” coming soon as well as many live performances in the Boston/New England area including a show at Copperfields near Fenway Park on Feb. 26th. Don’t miss out on these guys! Good musicians and good peoples all around.
