The English/Canadian Barracudas, founded by Jeremy Gluck and Robin Wills were one of the most successful garage bands in the late seventies and early eighties on the European continent, especially in France. With their debut album “Drop Out With The Barracudas” they were giving the Californian sixties surf rock sound from The Beach Boys and Jan & Dean a garage slant. They attracted international attention with this album while they already had a reputation for their energetic live performances. Among the highlight are of course the opener “I Can’t Pretend”, “We’re Living In Violent Times” and the cover of “Codeine”. This truly classic album contains 12 extra tracks!
