I’d say (me being Becky) Starsailor influenced me most, I can see their style of indie in the songs i write, & i’d like to say I aim for the female version of James Walsh’s vocals. All the members of the band have varying tastes in music, though they all eventually overlap, we like music ranging from Kittie, CKY & Green Day to Damien Rice, My Chemical Romance & Queen. I guess we all bring a little bit of our own musical tastes to the band, but out music tends to end up mainly Indie.
Sounds Like
Everyone has their own interpretation on things, but some things you might consider: Starsailor with female vocals, with maybe a bit of a more rocky vein in there too, and then there's the Hope of the States & Arcade Fire similarities with the violin. As far as vocals are concerned, think maybe the Cranberries, PJ Harvey or Stevie Nicks.
Formed after the two founding members, Haze & Becky, randomly discovered each others previously hidden musical prowessabilities, in the winter of 2003, Barrier Dutch have one goal, to claim the hearts of those who wish to be converted & to stir up the interest of those who are as yet unsure.
Having lost their previous bassist to the wilds of Australia, the band are now getting back on their feet with new members; Sam H. on the double bass and Hannah on guitar. Completing the line up are the usual suspects as always; Haze and Becky on Violin/BVs, Lead Vox/Guitar respectively, with Sam M. on le drums.
Barrier Dutch are in the process of recording again, and are soon to be embarking on a number of gigs in the near future.
They are as we speak working to get themselves known to as many people as possible, they have determination, a will to be heard & the integrity & talent to get themselves out there.
They play a form of indie rock, though with hints of many other musical genres, thanks to the wide variety of musical tastes within the band, everything from Queen to CKY, from Starsailor to Vanessa Mae. They're also lovely lovely people, I can assure you.

Hello. I just read the update and I really can't wait for that gig! Should be really fun! Hopefully I'll see you soon for the recording but I'm not sure when I can get the time. As soon as I have the chance, I'll call you and let you know when I can get to Sam's. A weekend would probably be best. Hope you and Hazel had fun at the Yeah Yeah Yeah's gig if you've been already, if not, have fun! I'll see you soon.xx
