With their last album creating a lot of buzz, all you Barcelona fans get excited to hear new music from the band in 2011. They shared exclusively with Hollywire that they are currently putting the finishing touches on their record which will be out this summer. Describing the new album as, "Sassy, Salty, Smelly" -- translation:
"The first record was made in a really traditional way. The way that a lot of bands would make records now. Everything was done digitally, we kinda went through and made sure everything was perfect sounding. With this new record, with the producer we worked with, Kevin Augunas -- he really encouraged us to leave that at the door and just be a band and just play your songs."

The fellas of Barcelona have had a lot of exposure with their music featured in popular shows including Vampire Diaries, The Hills and The City -- In addition their song Please Don't Go makes an appearance in the Water For Elephants trailer -- a movie starring Robert Pattinson (sigh), Reese Witherspoon and Christopher Waltz! Pretty snazzy!
With such momentum behind them, we have a feeling everyone will be seeing/ hearing a lot more from this band in the very near future. If you have yet to give them a shot you must check out their tunes at Myspace and follow them and their noodling antics in live time on twitter, @barcelona.
