Pardoner announce their new album Paranoid In Hell will drop on May 24th via Convulse Records. Ahead of the release, the band have shared lead single “Future Of Music.” The album was recorded with Philadelphia-based artist and producer Justus Proffit. Paranoid In Hell follows the band’s 2023 album Peace Loving People. The band kick off their tour on May 5th in Victoria, BC.

On the single, Max Freeland shares “I was going for a Dils-esque track with a bit of The Mice influence, kind of played through a filter of slacker rock type stuff. Lyrically, it’s a close-minded little number about feeling disdain towards the current shape of rock and roll music, in function and form, in both the packaging and the content. The industry and the discourse around it. It was the best of times, and yes, it was the worst of times. The title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to how the future of music most likely will sound like… the past of music?”

Formed by Max Freeland (vocals/guitar), Trey Flanigan (vocals/guitar), and River Van Den Berghe (drums) while they were college students in San Francisco, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their visceral live show and relentless release schedule, becoming one of the Bay’s most beloved bands. The addition of Colin Burris (bass) in 2019 cemented the lineup, and despite the members now being split between both coasts, they’ve kept up a rigorous touring regiment, embarking on a nation headline tour last Summer, followed by a run supporting Gel.
