Paranoids
The Party's Over EP
(Self-released)

Sometimes an EP is just the right length for a band - long enough to give you an idea of what the band is about, but short enough not to get boring - i.e. not a lot of filler. The Paranoids EP, however, is so damn infectious that it leaves you wanting more. Judging by the potential in these five songs it is hard to imagine that the Paranoids could release a full length that was not listenable from start to finish. Garage rock rawness with punk stomp wrapped around guitar lines so catchy they' d make Fountains Of Wayne blush, this is a band with so much potential that they are sure destined for bigger things. Now release a full length already!
