"Barakus certainly has plenty of passion. The seven songs from their 2005 EP have a bold, organic sound, sometimes reminiscent of classic rock from the 60s. The guitarists aren’t afraid of a good ballsy riff, nor are they afraid of mixing in some acoustic rhythm. In songs like “London Said” and “ Western Style Town ”, the lead guitar expresses as much as the vocals. But don’t let that diminish the vocals. Matt Code’s voice is a gem in the rock world. His low, gravely wail is the perfect complement to Barakus’ bluesy arrangements. The EP shows a great amount of ability and originality, without any frills. Everything you hear can and will be produced before your eyes in a live show!" - Northeast In-Tune
