The Paranoyds Unleash New Single/Video "Freak Out"


L.A. punk/garage rock quartet The Paranoyds have unleashed a live video for their new single "Freak Out".

The song is taken from their new album 'Talk Talk Talk', out today Septmber 9th via Third Man Records. Get your copy here

"Freak Out" embodies an otherworldly, massive crush that is impossible to ignore, complete with call-and-response style vocals that reinforce it. The track ultimately inspired the title of the forthcoming album as it includes the words, "talk, talk, talk" several times throughout. Guitarist and vocalist Lexi Funston adds that the song is about, "having a big ol', out-of-control, teenage crush. There are flashes where you realize that you might be coming on a bit too strong, but they are BRIEF, and you continue to lose yourself to the obsession. You can’t help it!"

Its accompanying DIY video was shot over the course of December 2021 through May 2022 by Funston and friends. It peels back the curtain and documents the band in their most natural state, from the studio, to the stage and in the moment.
