Holy fuzz Batman! Here we go. Ragged Barracudas play some of the dirtiest, fuzziest swamp plues I've heard this side of the Broughtons. With a proper warm lo-fi tube amp sound, these guys have the tunes and just the right amount of eccentricity and weirdy-beardy not-quite-there about em to stand them out from the packs of snooze-inducing garage rockers.
The lazy drawl vocals sound like the singer's in mourning (or perhaps the record's playing at slightly the wrong speed) and it often sounds like the band haven't quite decided if they've finished the jam, with another wild solo emerging from the mire of superfuzz. To mis-quote Dirty Harry: sure to blow your head cleeean awwwf!
