They came to make some noise. We gave them cardboard. Introducing The Barbarians of California.

The Barbarians of California aren’t exactly known for playing it safe. With a sound rooted in hardcore, punk and a healthy dose of chaos, the California outfit brings a raw, unapologetic energy to everything they do.

So what happens when you take that energy and put it behind a collection of cardboard instruments?

For this latest Cardboard Session, The Barbarians of California stepped into the historic Chaplin Soundstage in Hollywood and took on “No Sir, I Won’t Wear Your Jacket” using our custom, one-of-a-kind cardboard instruments. The result is every bit as loud, unpredictable and fun as you’d expect. It’s a reminder that great musicians can make something special with just about anything in their hands.

The result is loud, unpredictable and unmistakably The Barbarians of California. It’s also exactly what makes Cardboard Sessions so unique. We bring musicians into the studio, put something unconventional in their hands and give them the freedom to create in the moment. No rehearsals. No plan. Just music, experimentation and creative freedom.
