The Barracudas are an English based Anglo-Canadian band formed in the late 1970s. The band's original lineup consisted of: Jeremy Gluck (vocals), Robin Wills (guitar & vocals), David Buckley (bass & vocals) and Nick Turner (drums). They are notable for their summer 1980 hit "Summer Fun", which started with an excerpt from a spoof 1960s advertisement for the Plymouth Barracuda, in which one of the announcers has difficulty pronouncing the word barracuda.

  • The Barracudas are an English based Anglo-Canadian band formed in the late 1970s. The band's original lineup consisted of: Jeremy Gluck (vocals), Robin Wills (guitar & vocals), David Buckley (bass & vocals) and Nick Turner (drums). They are notable for their summer 1980 hit "Summer Fun", which started with an excerpt from a spoof 1960s advertisement for the Plymouth Barracuda, in which one of the announcers has difficulty pronouncing the word barracuda. The single reached number 37 in the UK singles chart Originally perceived as a novelty surf act due to the first album, subsequent recordings showed them to be a fierce garage rock and roll band, in the mold of the 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds. The band split in 1984, but reformed in 1989 to record "Wait For Everything", and then again in 2005 for the self titled album on NDN. Throughout their career their live performances have been energetic and frenetic.

  • The Barracudas è una band anglo canadese formatasi nei tardi anni '70. Fondata da Jeremy Gluck (voce), Robin Wills (chitarra), David Buckley (basso) e Nick Turner (batteria), ha raggiunto l'apice della notorietà nel 1980, quando il singolo "Summer Fun" (inserito poi nell'album "Dropout with Barracudas"), arrivò al 37° posto nelle charts del Regno Unito. Caratterizzati da un sound surf-garage molto melodico, hanno sospeso la loro attività nel 1984 per poi riprenderla nel 1989, in occasione della registrazione del disco "Wait For Everything". L'ultima reunion è datata 2005, per l'uscita dell'album omonimo su etichetta NDN.
