Biography

Philadelphia's The Last Barbarians are four thunder-hungry music connoisseurs that have banded together from a collage of musical influences to form their infectious, groovy, and flat-out bludgeoning style they call Barbarian.

Formed in 2006, the Barbarians have worked hard and partied harder but never stopped writing, recording or performing. After releasing the well-received Weekend Warrior in 2008, a six-track disc that "effortlessly transitions between straight forward metal and solid grooves steeped in jazz and funk", and regularly rocking venues like the The Khyber in Philadelphia, The Note in West Chester, PA and The Annex in NYC, The Barbarians are ready to dish out more tunes - their way.

Using their battle-axes to finish off the crumbling ruins of the ancient music business model, The Barbarians will be releasing ONLY free singles throughout 2010. This change will give them ample time to perfect each song, keep the grog of creativity flowing, and rock as many cities as possible.

THE BAND

Vocalist Mike McCaughan is the hell raiser. He expresses his beliefs through thunderous screams and anarchistic undertones that fuel the connection between The Last Barbarians and their listeners.

Bassist John Walters is the Mad Scientist, a free-formed virtuoso who draws influence from conscious existence.

Guitarist Dan Reilly represents the band's pursuit to happiness. He creates an emotionally charged blend of rhythm and lead guitar styles through the inspiration of guitar legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani and John Frusciante.

Drummer Adam Phaneuf transpires as the unshakeable backbone of the group. He takes his influences from bands like NOFX and Nirvana and mixes them with the lust for juicy fills inspired by Neil Pert and Buddy Rich.

The Last Barbarians are sharpening their battle axes, and are COMING FOR YOU!
