ABOUT

Barricade is a blog critiquing music, film, television, video games, and pop culture. We are a group of writers and editors dissatisfied with the direction cultural criticism is heading, with an aim to cut through the Substack posts and Pitchfork scores and deliver thoughtful and honest critique. Barricade is focused on an artist’s delivery and impact, regardless of their genre or medium. If you’re tired of “discourse” and want a real conversation, join us in the pit.
