What The Press Say About The Barcodes Band'...

The sound of midnight shadows. Sonic light and shade; Hammond B3 and electric piano,with wizard harmonica stylings. Tough stuff, tenderly and imaginatively delivered.
Pete Sargeant - Blues Matters

Thirteen great tracks from this Blues/Jazz trio. It rocks along and brings to mind the image of a smoke-filled jazz club. Definitely one that will be in the "Now Playing" section of my CD collection for quite sometime to come."
Paul Stiles - Blues in Britain

Their long-awaited new album which is dominated by their unique Jazz/Blues feel. Plenty of Alan Glen's harmonica on this. - Ken Smith - Red Lick

Cool hammond-fuelled blues with ex-Yardbird Alan Glen. - Time Out
