is a punk-rock band from Romania, Targu Mures. The band started in the summer of 2007 at a ska party in our home town where we talked about making a band and decided to fuck things up. Our music has many influences from bands world wide and bands from our country...
“Don’t give a fuck what people say. Trust your gut and never give up, the rest comes naturally.†– Tim Armstrong
"The Barricade, from Targu Mures, plays a brand of punk-rock, that sounds more violent when played live (d'oh!), than it does on their myspace page (The Barricade). These guys play songs that make you wanna cheer along with them "Fuck you!"-like the one called "Junks not Cops", which starts out mellow and then, at the end, turns into a fucking horror show! They play songs about drinking alcohol and smoking weed (is that punk apropiate?!)-"Drunk'n'High", „Lalaâ€; anti-political songs ("Politicians"); anti-nazi songs ("Anti Nazi Song"-how original!?), that never seem to miss from the usual punk rock repertoire. They even have a "love" song called D'n'B which sounds a lot more serious thant the rest; and one about homeless people (go figure!). They even pulled off a NOFX cover. I was pleasantly surprised. All in all they're a decent punk rock band (mohawks included)-young and full of potential-supporting the underground punk movement! We're hoping to see more and more of them on the stage. They proved that they know how to write and play good music, so they earned their "newcoming young hopes for the punk scene" title." - Written by Anopsia Radio Station on the Pogo Fest

"Punk isn't dead in Romania, Underground isn't dead. We still make punk-rock in Romania. The Barricade from Targu Mures surprised me in a pleasant way together with another band from Constanta, Coercion. With influences from bands like Rancid, Ramones or Casualties, we can all expect big things from these boys. A clear message against politicians and the whole upper class, against abuses of any kinds and against the system. Punk-rock 100% made in Romania." - Mircea-mpty zine
