Paranoid Earthling is a Sri Lankan Rock band from Kandy. Its music can be described as a blend of Experimental Rock, Grunge, Psychedelic and Stoner Rock. It was founded in 2001 by Mirshad Buckman – the lyricist, vocalist and guitarist, Shanka Samarasinghe – Drummer, Asela Bandara – Bassist and Dhanushka Samarasinghe – Guitarist. The bands EP ''Rock 'N Roll is My Anarchy''〔''()'' EP review by Daniel Cairns on the U.S. Rock Webzine 'www.chroniclesofchaos.com'〕 has brought them fame and many performances since its release in 2005. In 2014 the band underwent a line-up change when Harshan Gallage joined in as their drummer. ==About the band== A brain child of Mirshad Buckman and Shanka Samarasinghe: inspired to form a band after meeting in School & sharing similar interests in music, the band was put together along with Asela Bandara and Dhanushka Samarasinghe who have been the original line up, to date. Asela Bandara christened the band with its name Paranoid Earthling 〔()〕 Appearing for a guest performance at a local college concert in late 2001, the band covered Nirvana – Sliver which caught the attention of the youngsters and made a major breakthrough in the rock culture of Sri Lanaka. Then on they have appeared at numerous concerts throughout the years with few international tours under their belt.〔(South Asian Bands Festival 2009 )〕 Central to Paranoid Earthling's music is the political economic and socio-cultural issues surrounding the day-to-day life of an average Sri Lankan youth. The composition derives from personal experiences as well as from contemporary political and social issues at large. Many youth have found refuge in Paranoid Earthling's rebellious song-writing as it gives them a voice. By questioning concepts such as democracy, violence, conflict, religion and social hierarchies, their music calls for social change and transformation.〔(“We are sick of asking for peace nicely, it is time to rise up and make a stand” –Mirshad Buckman (Frontman – Paranoid Earthling) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paranoid Earthling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
