Barcelona was an indie rock, pop, and new wave band from Arlington, Virginia consisting of Jason Korzen, Jennifer Carr, Ivan Ramiscal, and Christian Scanniello.
The band addresses geeky themes in many of their songs, such as "The Downside of Computer Camp", "I Have the Password to Your Shell Account", and "Paging System Operator", about a boy who contacts someone in Sweden whom he believes to be an experienced cracker, using a BBS, only to find he is also a thirteen-year-old.
The album includes I Have the Password to Your Shell Account (which received some circulation on the Internet), "Studio Hair Gel", "Robot Trouble" and "Kasey Keller", an ode to the American soccer player.
"Studio Hair Gel" and "Robot Trouble" were both released as singles prior to the album and included remixes by Figurine, Dntel and Baxendale.
Shortly after the album's release, the band played its final show at The Metro Cafe in Washington, D.C. in February 2002.
