Go Get Beat Up is Barra Head’s third album. They’ve found a more melodic and immediate form but have managed to maintain their distinct expression. The band has always been an exciting acquaintance, both musically and lyrically, and that has not changed on this record. Each track is served cool, dry and tight. They won’t bring you easy answers or simple slogans, but prefer to ask questions and describe the complex world they exist in.

After the release of "We Are Your Numbers" in late 2004 Barra Head toured all over Europe with more than 60 shows in 13 different countries. One of the tours went to the Balkan area with planned shows in Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Bosnia. This tour turned out to be one of the most difficult, most weird, most disastrous and yet most eventful and interesting tours ever played by Barra Head. Not only were the band and the crew detained in no mans land at a borderline crossing for 24 hours, they also encountered lots of corrupt policemen, armed soldiers at shows, cancelled shows, fantastic shows, hard times, good times, beautiful landscapes and landscapes and towns destroyed by the war. During all these events in the post war zone in the Balkans Barra Head wrote two new songs, the melodic yet desperate rock song "Undermine" and the melancholy moody quiet song Gradiska. These are now being released as an exclusive 7" on Play/Rec.

After three years of touring with the songs from the debut album, Barra Head was finally back with this release of 4 brand new trakcs. This EP was recorded at Black Tornado studios in Copenhagen in March 2004 by Simon Eriksen and Per C.S. Jensen. These four songs are in the vein of what we have come to know as Barra Heads unique style of music; energetic, complex, melodic, emotional and thoughtful. And utterly well played! Lyrically the EP focuses on fear of the unknown as both a political factor as well as an existential condition and the lyrics can be seen as a comment on the current political climate in Europe.
Two of these tracks also appear on the 'We Are Your Numbers' album.

Barra Head´s as well as Play/Rec´s first full-length record featuring ten fantastic songs by this original and hard-working danish outfit. It was recorded and released during a hectic spring for the band that saw them touring in Belgium and Germany, trying to prepare for the challenge of playing at the Roskilde Festival while still managing to graduate and end their university semesters. The band hoped to get the record done in time for the roskilde festival so they embarked on the project with a schedule of recording and mixing up to 18 hours a day and great strains on their private economy. The CD was ready in time though and the last of the covers where litterally folded in the backstage area at the festival just before the show.
