Annie Barrett
Suicide Squad

Annie Barrett is the singer of the Australian punk band Suicide Squad. Featuring Annie Barrett (vocals), Mark Easton (guitar), Con Murphy (bass) and Steve Cord (drums), Suicide Squad were formed in 1978 by 4 schoolmates in Wollongong, Australia, though they relocated to Sydney after struggling to find places to play.










After their move they began to build a reputation as a great live band and attracted the attention of Doublethink Records who in 1979 released their only single I Hate School/New Kids Army.  Both tracks are great with low budget production and Annie Barrett screaming behind the microphone.

They then underwent a few line up changes and recorded an album called Vomit On You but this didn't get released until long after they'd split when it came out on Plastic Donut Records (in 2006).
