Release Notes:

We could get into the formidable math of the
combined years of experience of the NYC-based trio
Barnacle Bill, but let's just say that for them,
striving for greatness is unfinished business. And
because it all starts with a few first steps,
Barnacle Bill present their first CD, Towards The
Pebbled Shore (co-produced with Pete Min), released
in 2006 on their Y Eye Music label.

"This is great stuff. A nice mix of instrumentation
and skillful writing deliver an album's worth of
catchy songs, expertly sung. A home run, through and
through..."
Alan Haber, host of Pure Pop, WEBR, Fairfax, VA

Their songs are firmly ensconced in the pop rock and
power pop genres, both straight ahead and gentle,
with faithful emphasis on accessible vocal melodies
and harmonies, a foundation of electric guitars and
an anglophilic rhythm section (it helps that their
drummer hails from Sussex, UK). Songs hint at the
influence of the Beatles through to Weezer,
sometimes invoking the sounds of a vocal combo,
breezy and bouncy pop, or the energy of rock.
Touches of keyboards (by special musical guest Carla
Capretto) and acoustic guitar on a few songs further
broaden the record's stylistic bandwidth.

With the record completed, Barnacle Bill will again
play live; locally at first, in Manhattan's lower
east side and in Brooklyn, a demanding circuit that
compels the band to bring out its creative best.
Bassist Yianni Naslas and guitarist Stuart Klinger
trade lead vocal roles and backups, and drummer
Steve Wickins adds a third harmony, making Barnacle
Bill greater than the sum of its parts.
