The Paranoyds' beginnings can be traced back to a friendship forged between Staz Lindes and Laila Hashemi in their teens. With the additions of Lexi Funston and David Ruiz, the band found the personnel for their sonic balance of jubilant energy and foreboding undercurrents. \u003ci\u003eCarnage Bargain\u003c\/i\u003e captures this chemistry through guitar-and-keyboard, genre-mashing weirdness on \u003ci\u003eLaundry,\u003c\/i\u003e the fever-dream kitsch of B-52s on\u003ci\u003e Ratboy\u003c\/i\u003e, krautrock's motorik groove on \u003ci\u003eHungry Sam\u003c\/i\u003e, and Blondie on the sweet-and-salty highlight \u003ci\u003eCourtney\u003c\/i\u003e.

It's been nearly a year since the Los Angeles-based outfit released \u003ci\u003eCarnage Bargain\u003c\/i\u003e, their debut full-length, and this new release, a two-song seven-inch, is a total embodiment of their every influence. Their identity - a band fueled by campy horror movies and garage rock - is more evident than ever on this seven-inch, beginning with the organ-fueled opening of A-side \u003ci\u003ePet Cemetery\u003c\/i\u003e. Featuring the sounds of off-kilter keys alongside a chugging guitar line, and expansive experiments, \u003ci\u003ePet Cemetery \u003c\/i\u003ehas become a staple of the band's live performances, resulting in a sea of zombie-fied headbang every time it's played. Despite the obvious heaviness that surrounds a track entirely centered on undead lovers partaking in PDA, there's an undeniable undercurrent of fun. Previously recorded during sessions for the band's full length-debut, this unofficial anthem for underworld romance was being saved for a special moment. On the record's B-side, is \u003ci\u003eHotel Celebrity\u003c\/i\u003e, a single that's darkness isn't quite so overt. An examination of aging, and the fruitless celebrity pursuit of superficial perfection, The Paranoyds share in a not so sincere toast to Hollywood. The single was among the last sessions at the famed Tiny Telephone, a San Francisco-based recording studio. The track is a sneak peek at the future, if there is a future beyond all this shit, of what musical direction The Paranoyds might be headed in next. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suicide Squeeze","offers":[{"title":"Clear | 7\"","offer_id":50507132469579,"sku":"1105587","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8fe53b20-5314-4a94-a953-e51794a6fb38_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727838747"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_1619506a_thumbnail_4096_e2697360-cd8a-415c-8560-e2a5c0bc7494.jpg?v=1727248434","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/the-paranoyds.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
