Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 release from the Atlanta-based Alt-Rock quintet. Somewhere between The Heartbreakers (Petty) and The Heartbreakers (Thunders), The Barreracudas find a shallow well of inspiration just deep enough to produce one of the biggest foot-tappers of the year. Nocturnal Missions blends elements of dirty "70s Glam and the radio-friendliness of Dwight Twilley and Phil Seymour. The Barreracudas" sound shouldn"t come as a great surprise as most of these guys have been playing with Gentleman Jesse and His Men for the past couple of years. There"s no Pulitzer-worthy poetry in the lyrics, but the hooks in these songs are more infectious than encephalitis. It"s even got a sweet cover of Cheap Trick"s "Come On, Come On."
