1) Introducing… BARS, formed by indivi… Read Full Bio ↴There's 2 groups called Bars:
1) Introducing… BARS, formed by individuals steeped in hardcore/punk history, the band has offered up an album that is a stripped-down, sonic onslaught. The debut is laden with a pissed-off rock n’ roll swagger that is as pummeling as it is catchy. Regardless of perspective or expectations, Bars make rock n’ roll, and make it explode.
Formed in the summer of 2002 the Boston quintet pooled their influences and channeled them into a raw, focused outlet absent of gimmicks or facades. After a few rehearsals and in between touring schedules (of Give up the Ghost, The Hope Conspiracy and Suicide File), they began writing songs with only one goal in mind; start a band that is truly no frills punk rock. As things started to fall into place, the first handful of ideas quickly grew into 10 songs displaying the influence of such bands as The Dead Boys and Entombed.
After sending demos to Equal Vision Records, the label put BARS in the studio with producer Jim Siegel at the Outpost (Stoughton, MA). The result was Introducing…, an album brimming with razor sharp punk tunes that incorporates the musical influences of The Misfits and Queens Of The Stone Age. Vocally, Bars is about as straightforward as a fist in the face. Drawing comparisons to Tim Singer and Henry Rollins, Kevin Baker directs the sonic assault of Bars like a laser-guided weapon set to the tune of disenchantment, paranoia and defiance.
Starting off the album is “Bright Lights For Demise”, is an instant sing-a-long of pissed off aggression and guitar licks unheard in today’s current rock scene. On “Toecutter”, the listener is taken on a ride of riffs that is both punishing and memorable homage to start-stop riff masters Helmet. “Type Face Love Letter” shows that guitar hooks that were once on mainstream radio are now more than ever sorely missed and that’s the point. To take the past and making it relevant today.
No other band puts the rock n’ roll back in the scene better than the BARS. Introducing… is the revival of 80’s punk and hardcore. Fans will soon be searching out Black Flag and Discharge to see what they were missing and thanking the BARS.

Foc al cor
Bars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De gent preocupada per no temptar la sort
On tot anava molt a poc a poc.
Sempre que passava per l'arbre tort
Em recordava que havia de ser fort.
"Molt fort" pensava cada cop.
I Entre mirades de cartró
És com trencar-te el cor un cop de roc.
I és com si s'encengués un foc al mig del bosc
Però potser aquell dia, un dia com tants,
Quan tot m'avorria tu eres al davant,
Quan jo estava tocant a fons.
Com una tempesta va passar
I potser la lluna va donar un cop de mà
Fa temps, tant temps, però és cert
I entre mirades de cartró
Tornar un somriure de debò,
És com trencar-te el cor un cop de roc.
I és com si s'encengués un foc al mig del bosc
Al sol d'agost.
I entre mirades de cartró
Tornar un somriure de debò,
És com trencar-te el cor un cop de roc.
I és com si s'encengués un foc al mig del bosc
Al sol d'agost.
I entre mirades de cartró
Tornar un somriure de debò,
És com trencar-te el cor un cop de roc.
I és com si s'encengués un foc al mig del bosc
Al sol d'agost.
Foc al cor, foc al cor, foc al cor,
Foc dins del meu cor
Foc al cor, foc al cor, foc al cor,
Foc dins del teu cor.
The song "Foc al cor" by Bars is a poignant and introspective piece that deals with themes of loss, hope, and resilience. The lyrics describe a town that is dead, where people are afraid of tempting fate and nothing seems to move very quickly. The singer reflects on the need to be strong in the face of adversity and finds solace in the memory of an old, crooked tree that serves as a symbol of resilience and perseverance.
The chorus of the song describes the feeling of having your heart broken, as if it were being shattered by a rock. Despite this pain, the singer finds hope in the simple act of smiling and connecting with others. They describe how a single smile can light up the darkness like a fire in the midst of a forest, bringing warmth and light to a place that was once cold and lifeless.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing for something lost, and a recognition that time and distance have made it nearly impossible to recapture what once was. Despite this, the singer clings to the memory of a moment in the past when they felt truly alive, when they connected with someone on a deep level and experienced the fullness of life.
Overall, "Foc al cor" is a powerful and moving meditation on the human experience of loss, grief, and hope. It speaks to the universal human desire for connection and meaning, and reminds us that even in the face of the darkest tragedies, there is always the possibility of finding light and warmth.

Era una vegada un poble mort
Once upon a time there was a dead town
De gent preocupada per no temptar la sort
With people worried not to tempt fate
On tot anava molt a poc a poc.
Where everything went very slowly.
Sempre que passava per l'arbre tort
Every time I passed the crooked tree
Em recordava que havia de ser fort.
It reminded me that I had to be strong.
"Molt fort" pensava cada cop.
"Very strong" I thought every time.
I Entre mirades de cartró
And between cardboard looks
Tornar un somriure de debò,
To return a genuine smile
És com trencar-te el cor un cop de roc.
It's like breaking your heart with a rock blow.
I és com si s'encengués un foc al mig del bosc
And it's as if a fire was lit in the middle of the forest
Però potser aquell dia, un dia com tants,
But maybe that day, an ordinary day
Quan tot m'avorria tu eres al davant,
When everything bored me you were in front
Quan jo estava tocant a fons.
When I was playing full out.
Com una tempesta va passar
Like a storm that passed
I potser la lluna va donar un cop de mà
And maybe the moon gave a helping hand
Fa temps, tant temps, però és cert
A long time ago, so long, but it's true
Al sol d'agost.
In the August sun.
Foc al cor, foc al cor, foc al cor,
Fire in the heart, fire in the heart, fire in the heart
Foc dins del meu cor
Fire inside my heart
Foc al cor, foc al cor, foc al cor,
Fire in the heart, fire in the heart, fire in the heart
Foc dins del teu cor.
Fire inside your heart.

Sin ánimo de polemizar, este es el mejor tema de toda la historia del pop-rock catalá. Una voz inmensa, un ritmo y unos cambios excelentes, una armónica que se acopla de forma genial...una canción que vá "in crescendo" y te atrapa sin contemplaciones. Para disfrutarla en cualquier ambiente. GRACIAS BARS POR ESTE GRAN REGALO.
Albert Mas
A mí me resultaría muy difícil elegirla como la mejor porque hay canciones buenísimas. Es una de esas pocas canciones que te puedes pasar todo el día escuchandola y cada vez te va a gustar mucho más
Miquel Yafari
Antonio, entiendo lo que dices, la canción es brutal....pero la mejor? Aquí hay mucho debate

És de les millors cançons que he sentit mai en català. Aquest ritme folk country després accelerat amb el rock queda súper bé. I les imatges i l'estètica que surten en funció de la música que sona, folk i rock. Molt guapo
