FOAD Musick and Paranoid Visions, current updates! FOAD Musick is a Dublin based punk rock label operated by Paranoid Visions.

The catalogue is available via code7 / Plastichead or from www.paranoidvisions.com (CLICK ON BANNER AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE!) or on I-tunes

FOAD Musick was one of the first independent Irish DIY music labels, starting out life in the early 1980’s where initial releases were concentrated on Paranoid Visions cassettes, moving onto vinyl in the mid 80’s and cassettes and cd’s in the late 80’s and 90’s. Introducing the unsuspecting public to artists as diverse as Irish Rockers the baby snakes, UK dub terrorists Radical Dance Faction, UK / Irish hardcore metal Coitus, Ska legends the Selector and of course a healthy dose of paranoid visions material.

The rejuvenated label, courtesy of the suprising commercial and critical success of Paranoid Visions since their reformation in 2005 has led to a number of new releases .

FOAD1002CD: The Winter of our Malcontents is a live compilation album featuring The Freebooters, Droppin Bombs, Moutpiece, Liz is Evil, Ructions, The AMerkins, MongoHorn, Setting Off Sirens, Mommas Slippers, Dubtones and Paranoid Visions. This 22 track album recorded in Fibber Magees will retail for the price of a single (€5.99) and is released on August 13th

OVER124CD: Paranoid Visions, Black Operations in the Red Mist. This 39 track double album features tracks from the bands entire catalogue spanning 1984 – 2010 and includes a 20 page booklet full of reviews, sleeve notes and the full biography of the band to date.

FOAD1004CD: Setting Off Sirens, Step Up. This first official album fro Enniskillen’s power merchants is a stunning collection of material by anybodies standards. Crossing boundries between hardcore punk and metal with pop sensibilities, is best summed up as sounding like Brian Moloko fronting Black Flag playing Pixies covers.

FOAD1005CD: Liz is Evil, Failed Philosophy. This debut album from Dublin’s highly rated power punk / Alternative rock / grungy / whatever your having yourself / 3 piece is a superb slice of alternative Irish Rock.

History

Formed in 1981, Paranoid Visions quickly allied themselves to the anarcho punk fraternity of the second wave of punk rock in the early 80's. Heavily influenced by the crass ethic of diy music, the band fomed their own F.O.A.D label and licenced their records to all the madmen records, home of the Mob, Thatcher on Acid, Blyth Power and the Astronauts. Paranoid Visons played gigs and toured with the likes of Poison Girls, DIRT, Blyth Power, the Subhumans and the Instigators. Throughout the 90's Paranoid Visions became the biggest punk band Ireland had ever produced, featuring on several TV shows, newspapers and being offered numerous record deals from major labels (all of which were ignored). In the early 90's the band played with bands like snuff, the macc ladds and manic street preachers before calling it a day in 1992. In 1996 they reformed to play support on some dates for the sex pistols filthy lucre tour. In 2001 they reformed again and played with the damned, the dickies and at the wasted festival in morecombe. While these reunions were always designed to be short lived, the 2005 reunion line up formed in support of the re release of the back catalogue (outside in (the vinyl years 1986 - 1989)) has decided to continue on its merry way.

Late in 2005, the band remastered and released their long lost (and quite funny) xmas album "bollox to Xmas".

a live album called "live in stab city" was released in April 2006.

A new album, "40 shades of gangreen" was released in March 2007, the first new material in 16 years. 2008 was a busy year with the release of "the treasure from the wasteland e.p" (12", CD and download), which charted at number 4 in tn Irish download charts. The release of "beware of the god" in 2009 heralded some great reviews and even better sales generating a number 3 chart placing for the track "fritzl's basement" and a number 5 chart placing for the 3 track download "1970sick ep (i am the one / don't dictate / stepping stone)". February 2010 will see the "strobelight and torture ep" being released, "black operations in the red mist" - a retrospective compilation (on overground records", a live album and the bands new studio album being releasedas well as movie appearences in the films "3 crosses" and "little foxes"
