2011 release from the Atlanta-based Alt-Rock quintet. Somewhere between the Heartbreakers (Petty) and the Heartbreakers (Thunders), the Barreracudas find a shallow well of inspiration just deep enough to produce one of the biggest foot-tappers of the year. Nocturnal Missions blends elements of dirty '70s Glam and the radio-friendliness of Dwight Twilley and Phil Seymour. The Barreracudas' sound shouldn't come as a great surprise as most of these guys have been playing with Gentleman Jesse and His Men for the past couple of years. There's no Pulitzer-worthy poetry in the lyrics, but the hooks in these songs are more infectious than encephalitis. It's even got a sweet cover of Cheap Trick's "Come On, Come On."
