Paranoid Visions

biog

Paranoid Visions, formed in 1981, were part of the early anarcho-punk stable of bands... what made them different was that they were from Dublin in Ireland, and this isolation resulted in them developing a unique sound.

During the 1980s Paranoid Visions became a very successful and borderline mainstream crossover act in their home country turning down several advances from major labels in order to keep the moral high ground.

In 2005 the band reformed (having previously reformed for an offered slot on the Sex Pistols Filthy Lucre tour and later for a slot on The Damned's 25th anniversary tour) and since then have been very prolific releasing five singles, two new albums and two back catalogue albums, a Best Of double album and a live recording from the early 1990s.

2010 saw their newest album 'Beware Of The God' building on their commercial success in Ireland and expanding their fanbase worldwide.

The band, whose track ‘Beauty Queen’ appeared in The Commitments, also had music in two 2010 films: '3 Crosses' and 'Little Foxes'.

2012 saw the release of their Outsider Artist single featuring guest appearances from TV Smith (ex Adverts), The Shend (The Cravats) and The Blame. Later in the year they release their new album ‘Escape From The Austerity Complex’ which also features guest appearances from Steve Ignorant (Crass) and John Robb (Gold Blade).
