This London-based Anglo-Canadian band, whose members include Jeremy Gluck (vocals), Robin Wills (guitar), David Buckley (bass), and Nick Turner (drums), was formed in 1979 and scored a U.K. chart hit in 1980 with the neo-surf song “Summer Fun.” Turner and Buckley left after the release of the first album Drop Out With the Barracudas (1981) and were replaced by Jim Dickson and Terry Smith. Chris Wilson also joined on guitar. This quintet made the second and third albums, Meantime and Endeavour to Preserve, which were released only in France. The Barracudas disbanded in December 1984, but re-formed in 1989.

Interview with Jeremy Gluck - This article was written in August of 1998

I grew up in the shadow of rock and roll
I was 12 when it came to take my soul
And once it gets you it don’t let go

Now I’m older but inside I’m still 19
Anyone in my shoes knows what I mean
And anyone who loves it
Will know where I’ve been

Rock and roll heroes, Rock and roll dreams
Rock and roll theories, Rock and roll schemes
You gave me the best years of my life

- “The Best Years” (Gluck/Wills)

If you are going to write a feature about a rock and roll band, Jeremy Gluck, former lead singer of the now legendary Barracudas, is the kind of interview you want to have. Because aside from having fronted a fabulous band, he’s also a raving fan and a man who writes about rock and roll (among other things) himself. Twenty years after the Barracudas started, Gluck still bubbles with enthusiasm about rock and roll. It means a LOT to him.
