BARRACKS was formed in 2009 by ex-Acalmbefore members Simon Power, Kane Lazenby and Martin Mihaka. With the roster filled out by guitarist Hunter Branch (currently in Dead Dreamers) and Kier Scott on vocals, they recorded their first EP 'We Are The Lions' with Nathan Sowter (Brick Vs Face, Antagonist AD, Blindspott) and Zorran Mendonsa (Cobra Khan, New Way Home).
After touring the EP throughout the North Island, BARRACKS have spent the last year in the studio with Nathan Sowter writing and recording material for 'Ghosts'. With the addition
of members Judd Ipsen (Nightmares) and Tom Revell, 'Ghosts' is a post-hardcore inspired album that is due for release 01.09.14.
