Paranoid Visions Resurrected: Legends!

Frank Cronin

Paranoid Visions Resurrected:

With the imminent release of a back catelogue CD, veteran punk band Paranoid Visions are set to hit the road. Punk’s not dead and neither are veteran Dublin spiky-hairs Paranoid Visions who are hitting the comeback trail in support of a single CD containing all of their back catalogue. It’ll be the first time that the original line-up of Deko, P.A., Caff and Dan D. Lion have been in the same room as each other since 1990. "There was always a lot of tension in the band at the time and it was entirely justified as we were always a nasty bunch of slagging ****ers to each other", says Deko, ever the silver-tongued devil. Provisionally-titled Outside In: Vinyl 1986 – 1989, the everything including the kitchen sink collection includes the Running Amok EP, City Of Screams and I Wallow mini-albums and their only full-length release, Schizophrenia.

Anarchist

I thought Striknein were gone now that the other lads are busy with Blood Or Whiskey

dregin

Are they nazi punk or was it just some art work that got them the tag?
I've never listened to them so dont know.

Frank Cronin

With 21 former members to choose from it's not an issue, Beano & Pete (BOW), are not named as being in this line-up of Paranoid Visions (which was the original thread).

Yes Striknein are doing the Wasted Festival this month in the UK, so Deko is double jobbing and Pete / Beano. But so are BOW so no issue.

Na to nazi stuff, should be better remembered for some craking tunes a lot of attitude and of course their version of Jah War!

Whereas Parnoid Visions for putting Bono's hackles up, for the Flake Advert track, for the first punk song sung in Irish etc.

Looking forward ...

They just have one piece of artwork by Boz with a priest doin the auld 'Sieg Heil!', which was totally taking the mick. Theyre in no way Nazis. There is no such thing as nazi punk in any real sense of the word anyway.

I'd love to hear Paranoid Visions.

does anybody know if the band are planning a stint round the four corners?

magpie

Good God Help Us.

I remember recording a single at Sonic Studios in 1990, the engineer there played drums on their later releases. They were working on a concept rap album about the Gulf War. It was without doubt the funniest thing I've ever heard. Cider Punk at its worst.

Dreg, how do you actually get one of those sites that you can put your own stuff up onto?

dregin

Go to college, join the friendly networking society, then pay €4 a year for 300megs of space and unlimited bandwidth useage

ANarcho-Munk

i was thinking i'd be able to get it somewhere for free.........

and I won't tell them to **** off because Peter Cortner happened to be in my favourite band ever.

They originally had it hosted but then things got ****ed up and now they are hostless..

dregin

Forgot to mention, the mosquitos. They were ****in deadly, didn't see the first band Bluesy punk stuff. very, very good. We're tryin to track down their CD in town.
