The Barbs

The Barbs

The Barbs were a band from Kent, England with Medway beat and punk-pop influences. Although they were never particularly successful in their home country, they reached #1 in the Philippines music chart in late 2004 with the single Massive Crush. The UK release of the same record was Single of the Week on Lauren Laverne's XFM show, and was surprisingly played on BBC Radio 2 several times. The single received critical acclaim, with 4 Ks from Kerrang! and was, according to the NME, "The best song about killing your parents, stealing guitars and humping till dawn ever penned".

They also released an album, Lupine Peroxide.

On 1st December 2004, they were one of the headline acts at the MTV Staying Alive Music Summit, playing to a crowd of over 50,000. They also made several tours of the UK with bands such as The Rocks.
