Barcode is the first single to be taken from London-based five piece The Corrections’ forthcoming debut album ‘Repeat After Me’ on EMI Records. With an infectious, staccato opening guitar hook, Barcode immediately draws you into the sound of The Corrections. Joe Winter’s soothing yet effortlessly powerful vocals, yearning even in their more urgent and energetic moments. This is a taut, energetic track, which in three minutes deceptively shifts from a slow-burning melancholy groove to a euphoric final call to arms. Echoing Radiohead in their more intense and heightened moments; Wire, Bowie, Arcade Fire and even Brainiac in others. It’s difficult to categorise the sound of The Corrections, but there is no doubt that these elements combine to produce a very special guitar-based band, who deserve to be recognised as the individual talent they are. The accompanying video perfectly captures the mood and motive of the song in visual form. Strong and striking in black and white, it showcases the band and their interpretation of the song. The concept was brought to fruition by the band’s critically acclaimed art/film partners Duckeye.To fully experience The Corrections, catch them at one of the following live dates over the next couple of months:Thu 27th March Bristol, Louisiana
