Paradise debut the black & white 60s-homage video for "Diary of an Old Soul" - the title track from their upcoming LP


Portland's Paradise debut the black & white, Small Faces 60s homage video for the title track off their upcoming LP Diary of An Old Soul.

Today, Mad Mackerel features the Paradise video for "Diary of an Old Soul"
The sound of Paradise is one steeped in fuzzed-out garage stomp and unhinged visceral jams. The title track from their forthcoming album Diary Of An Old Soul is so authentically primal, so reverential in its steady blues chug and psych-pop overcoat that is should come with a “If found, please return to the 60s” sticker.  Marvelous stuff...

Part garage, part psych pop and all pure energy, Diary of An Old Soul is a collection of catchy, 60s fuzz-soaked fully-formed jams that explode out of speakers.  Propelled by a rowdy and infectious enthusiasm and driven by an unhinged howl and chuggingly clever Farfisa lines, check out the video and grab the title track off their upcoming LP Diary of An Old Soul, out on March 20.

About Paradise
Their eyes burnt by the glowing landscapes of the electronic revolution.  Their teeth sharpened to the sounds of a youthful uprising.  Hating the Beatles before they loved them.  Blood brothers to their instruments, idols of procreation and pro-creation.  Aged by the sun.  Singing the sounds of a now-nameless generation.

Raised in the cornfields of the Bible Belt, the industrial wasteland of Cleveland, OH, the rolling hills of the Lake Michigan coast and the burnt desert of the Golden State.  The four members now emerge from the dark hollows of Portland, OR.

It is the sound of flux.  The response to a United Federation of States run by the few.  A response to growing up tormented by idols and enemies.  Their sound is a refuge from data, meetings and humans.  In a world of mindless pop culture, we offer you an escape from the masses.  Mass media is no longer the cure.  What we offer you is our cure.  A sound we call Paradise.
