Barker brothers Andy and Nick make up the British duo Clambake. Apparently the Barkers have been deeply affected by both Billy Childish and Flat Duo Jets, as Clambake's primitive, roughed-up surf/blues/punk reeks of stale beer, ducktails and bar fights. You either like this stuff or you don't. it's damn near impossible not to choose sides within 30 seconds of hearing the searing "Powder Monkey" or the raucous "We're Gonna Make the World a Better Place." The Barkers are obviously aware of this, as Gator in the Pool is 10 songs in 20 minutes. There's virtue in getting out while the getting's good. Michael Toland
