Barricade arose from the vicinities of Philadelphia, PA, where they've been flying the hardcore flag since 2004 while drawing inspiration from legendary predecessors such as Madball, Life of Agony, and Sick of It All. Signed to Blackout Records for 2006's Be Hard debut album, and then Eulogy Recordings for 2008's Demons follow-up, the group was composed, at the time, of vocalist Ziggy, guitarists Ryan Schwenksville and Tommy T, bassist/vocalist Pat Bastard, and drummer Big Jay. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
