The Barbarians were a 1960s garage band from Provincetown, MA. This band was unusual in that the drummer and founder, Victor "Moulty" Moulton, had lost his left hand at age 14 in an explosion from a homemade bomb and had a hook in its place, he drummed despite his disability. Image-wise, they were something new. Their name was chosen to reflect their primitive playing and their shaggy looks. Their hair was longer than anyone else's at the time; they wore leather sandals.
Some suggest they were the very first punk band ever, pre-dating The Seeds. The Barbarians got to record their one self-titled album for Laurie records in early 1965. The album is a fairly faithful run through of the numbers they played at their shows, with a large dose of covers. It's a classic garage band album; raw, unschooled, primal. The standout cut is the single, "Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl?" which some claim is the first punk song; a statement of purpose and rumination on long hair, it had an aggressive jangle to it, and was delivered with a sneer, in an era when bands were still trying to be cheerful.
