Barricades I watched you walk in the twilight With the sunset over hill You were wearing a look of confusion It’s a look you’re wearing still And we sang “It’s getting better” When clearly it had gotten much worse And the future? The future was nothing -but cursed. I watched you sail on the ocean Slowly you drifted away Sailing out on the horizon You got further from me by the day Still we sang “It’s getting better” When clearly it had gotten much worse And the future? The future was nothing -but cursed. So tear down the barricades This war cannot be won So tear down the barricades And leave this place to mourn Still we sang “It’s getting better” When clearly it had gotten much worse And the future? The future was nothing -but cursed. I watched you walk in the twilight Strolling the edges of time Holding your hand to keep you from harm Where once you held on to mine Still we sang “It’s getting better” When clearly it had gotten much worse And the future? The future was nothing -but cursed. So tear down the barricades This war cannot be won So tear down the barricades And leave this place to mourn So tear down the barricades This war cannot be won So tear down the barricades And leave this place….

about

Listeners reviews
"Mature and richly textured with a rash of sparkling hooks" -Malcolm McGonigle BAFTA award winning screenwriter

"the whole album's a triumph"

"the kind of thing I could leave on in the car and let it run for months since the songs have so much going on "

What the critics said
powerful instrumental moments including the beautiful sax’ solo on ‘Fragile’, and the effortless way the keys and harmonica slide into the acoustic guitar on the intro of ‘Redwood’. 5th Oct. Americana UK

"Glasgow's The Hellfire Club come up with a vibrant and eclectic listen"- Paul Kerr Blabber 'n' Smoke Nov 2020

“with more variety than the Barbara Mandrell show and, with that dry, west of Scotland, humour”– Bluesbunny, Aug 2020

“The Glasgow-based roots/Americana group have not only arrived … adding their own distinctive voice” - Liverpool Sound and Vision, Aug 2020, 8.5/10

"Glasgow's number one americana band" -Jonny Steingold , presenter Americana GMT, Mad Wasp Radio

What the band says
"Opening with a whisky soaked meeting of friends in the Griffin Bar in Glasgow the album tumbles into themes of lost love, longing, coming of age and ageing, yes it’s intentionally melancholic but listen to it from start to finish. You will feel better. We call it Glaswegiana."
