Barricades Rise

HOBO REVIEW

Coventry's distinguished musical heritage is not all the past!

Coventry's dynamic acoustic duo - Barricades Rise 

"Performing with intense energy and delivering their unique
 raspy, rugged and dark vocals" BBC C&W

Barricades Rise - 

create vibrant musical fire and brimstone with only two accoustic guitars and bongos on their new album You and Your Adored. Coventry's distinguished musical heritage is not all the past - the city is once again ablaze with musical talent and Barricades Rise bring drama, soul and dynamics to the acoustic arena.

They just do not sound like your average acoustic due! The sound grabs your attention from the first bar and holds it with dynamic interweaves of vocal grit and harmony and the rhythms build and rage and fade and build again. It is at once a professional sound, full of energy and integrity that would hold its own against electric bands.

These two lads have definate talent and drive and add a destinctive sound to the range of music that is spilling out of the city these days.

You can hear some of their work on this Reverbnation widget and make up your own mind.

 Barricades Rise are a two piece acoustic act hailing from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK that formed in December 2007. They have been compared to the likes of Turin Brakes, Starsailor, Puressence and Elbow. Jonathan’s voice rips through each track with a passion and power that is rarely heard with today’s front men, whilst Michael's guitar playing is the perfect match and with over ten years of playing together they compliment each other flawlessly.

In 2012 Barricades Rise signed to one of the biggest Independent record labels in the USA, Spectra Records and their new album 'All I Have Is Here' is to be released in Spring 2013.
