about

"A frantically furious track from BARQ" - The Last Mixed Tape

"A rousing, contemporary blast of self-affirmation." - Goldenplec

"With a sound that has been established as a bed of alternative live band R&B or “agrosoul”, BARQ are one of the most unique offerings in terms of new bands to arrive in the last two years." - Nialler9

"A soaring and constantly fuelled track that screams for you to believe." - OB Blog

lyrics

LYRICS

Is this genetic?
This endemic
We’re floating
We’re floating

Is this prophetic?
I won’t ruin
My life, for you

This pathetic
Old way
We love, we lie

Your synthetic
Taste may
Resolve
This time

I need you to believe in me
I need you to believe

You’re diuretic
You got me sweating
A forked road
Pierces the skin

This athletic feat of want
Consumes and achy sin

But I’m bionic
I break the walls
I’m super-human
The lights shine
Optimus Prime
Apocalyptic
I will renew, I will refine
I will rebuild, I will upgrade
Another dimension, fortified
Gilded ascension
Bio-extension
Outside of time
Purified

I need you to believe in me
I need you to believe
I need you to believe in me
I need you to believe

believe in me
believe in me

This is where the light breaks
It’s when I break to soon
It’s when I need you
This is when I falter into an alchemic tune
It’s when I need you

This is where the light breaks
It’s when I break to soon
It’s when I need you

This is when I falter, this is when I’m alone
Alone, alone, oh.

I need you to believe in me
I need you to believe
I need you to believe in me
I need you to believe

about

BARQ image

BARQ Dublin, Ireland

BARQ are a high energy four-piece, shoving groove into the belly of the rock-beast and creating agro-soul.

This is music to dance dangerously to.
