Description

Drop Out with The Barracudas is the debut studio album by English rock band The Barracudas, released in 1981.

The Barracudas pushed a Southern California surf-rock image on their debut theres the cover photo for one, and then theres a good chunk of the songs. Titles like the demi- hit singles Summer Fun, California Lament, On the Strip, and Surfers Are Back are self-explanatory, while the campy His Last Summer, detailing one dudes final big wave with Brit-accented asides, has got to win an award for being one of rocks best fake-tragedy stories.

If you like the surf and hot rod tunes of the early 1960s, youll love the upbeat songs. The darker tunes draw you in and remind you that all is not rosy and about surf and sun. A fantastic contrast that keeps the record from becoming boring.
