Barrier, they haven't been big long but they are sure pretty close to the top, 2 year ago they were touring the midwest in small bars and basements, but now they are playing festivals like South by So What; which is a huge line up. Barrier is a downtempo hardcore band from Chicago, Illinois i remember seeing Barrier at some local venue and every single time it was insane and i was little scared to get involved but still not enough to keep me out of those pits. Barrier is still unsigned but i have a feeling that they will be signed soon, if you have listened to Barrier and wonder how they record? well the band is all recorded by the bands guitarist Sam Bottner, bottner likes to record singles, Ep's, and albums for local bands out in Chicago including my bands upcoming single. Barrier has released 2 Ep's and 1 full length album, the 2 Ep's were recorded with the original front man Colin Sharkey, but the full length album was recorded David Libert. Barrier is headlinging a tour with villains (Chicago), Gift giver (Indiana/Chicago), Traitors (Florida), and Adaliah (Florida) so if you know of any of these bands go see them and get buck wild
Hope is a lost cause
My faith isn’t real
I’ve lost sight in anything
I once held close to fear.
My minds a mess
And this pain in my chest is killing me
I hate that I can’t feel security in anything
And when it comes to me,
It’s ripped out again
I live for you
Not for me or for my passion
I’ve tried to make a change
But the world is taking all my chances
