The Bad Barnacles grace us with a number of never-before-heard songs including “Golden Gala” and “Fallout,” which feature fresh takes on a classic genre. Fans can often find the band at local venues like the Torch Club, Harlow’s, The Russ Room and The Starlet Room.
The band is working on a new album, but listeners can find their catalog on Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music. Be sure to follow them on Instagram at @thebadbarnacles and Facebook or at their website to stay updated on show dates.
