Paranoid Earthling was established in early 2001 with Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Mirshad Buckman, Bassist Asela, Drummer Shanka and his brother & Rhythm Guitarist Dhanushka. 6 months down the line Paranoid Earthling made their first appearance in an islandwide competition in Sri Lanka’s Capital City of ‘Colombo’. Since then Paranoid Earthling’s rise to the spotlight of Sri Lankan original rock music has been unsurprisingly quick. The electrifying live performances and gutty originality that stems from their multi-faceted brand of rock has gained them an avid following. Picture 90’s grunge/post grunge interspersed with 70’s retro/blues and elements of punk and funk tweaked in for good measure, Paranoid’s genre is their own – hard to define and easy to like.
Coming from a conservative country where so called leaders thrive to ban and censor realism from the masses - while profiting from war, Paranoid Earthling uses their music as a vehicle to express their views on liberation, independance and free thinking.
The band’s 1st release was their three track EP (Rock and Roll is My Anarchy) which conquered Sri Lanka’s premier rock chart TNL SL Top Ten with each song finding its way to the top of a series of local charts. The EP had their 1st Recorded Single “Pull Me Underâ€(2002â€), “Rock ‘n Roll Is My Anarchy†(2005) & “69†(2005) which are all radio staples in Sri Lanka.
Currently the band has completed all their tracks for their Full length Debut album which will be launched later this year.Releases to date: 1
