Originally released in 2011 on Atlanta’s Douchemaster Records, “Nocturnal Missions” was the debut album of The BARRERACUDAS. Spaghetty Town Records and Beluga Records have teamed up to bring us this remastered vinyl reissue.Opening song “Numbers” offers us a fine mix of powerpop and glam punk and “Baby Baby Baby” is a catchy song somewhere between The VIBRATORS and The EXPLODING HEARTS. You can also hear a touch of NEW YORK DOLLS in “Feet” and a bit of TOM PETTY in “I Won’t Wait” and “Girl.” Fans of pure powerpop will love “Don’t Roll Your Eyes” and “Come On Come On”, rock’n’rollers will dance to “Monkey See Monkey Do” and ’77 punk rockers will pogo to “Baby Jessica”, “The Lurker” and “Because” with its MISFITS opening line. You’ll even get your glitter rock fix with “Ballroom Disasters” and find a cool bonus track (“7th Time”) on this reissue so you know what to do… /Laurent C.
