Profiles

Paranoid visions murder most foul


Paranoid Visions are an infamous punk band from Dublin, Ireland who formed in 1982. They broke up in 1992, had reunion shows and eventually decided to reunite. The band ran their own label, F.O.A.D. (Fuck Off And Die), during the 80s and 90s. The label was based in Dublin and run by guitarist, P.A. as is the bulk of their current administration to date. In 1987, the band started the FOAD2U2 campaign (meaning Fuck off and die to U2). These letters could be seen sprayed all over Dublin at the time. Their EP, I Will Wallow is a parody of U2's album, Boy, and their single "I Will Follow". In January 2009, the band announced they would be releasing a new album, Beware of the God. This will be the first album which features new member Steo Pain. In 2012, following the release of an additional 3 ep's, the band released the critically acclaimed and commercially successful "escape from the austerity complex" album.

In November 2013, the band are set to release a new album, featuring Steve Ignorant (Of the band Crass) as a guest vocali
