“The Pleasure Kill” (2002) became an early high in the band’s career, cementing the band’s status and preparing the scenario for things to come. Sleazy rockers like "Back In The Days", "Inhale" or the unique "Apocalypso" have grown to become true classics of the punk rock scene. After further touring and appearances at major festivals like Wacken (2003 and 2008),Summer Breeze (2003, 2004, 2006 and 2009)and WFF (2008), PSYCHOPUNCH entered the legendary Sunlight studios again to lay down their highly acclaimed fifth album “Smashed On Arrival”(2004) on Silverdust Records. With songs like “Dying in your dream”, ”All over now” and “Fingerlickin’ good” the band once again proved that they are here to stay.
With their album “Kamikaze Love Reducer”(2006), PSYCHOPUNCH once again showed what this music is about, firing 10 shots of punk rock’n’roll straight into the brain – addiction is guaranteed, courtesy of those exceptional melodies and catchy choruses that are the band’s trademark. It seems to be unbelievably easy for PSYCHOPUNCH to deliver hit after hit, quickly captivating the unsuspecting listener. Songs like Overrated,Poison alley groove,On the stereo,The black river song,When this world is dying and Everlasting has become almost permanent songs in the liveset!
The boys celebrated their 10th anniversary impressively by releasing their 7th album "Moonlight City".The “Moonlight city”(2008) album once again combined PSYCHOPUNCH's trademarks:riffs with class, attitude and melodies you can't escape. The band developed consequently and ended up in a varied record full of diverse moods and emotions. In your face still, but the sophisticated way. The result surely deserves to be heard, with hit after hit pouring down on the listener.
On their eighth album na med „Death By Misadventure“, the boys redefine themselves. No, they haven´t left the familiar terrain of snotty rock hymns. But they allow more to happen this time, they’ve grown and you can really hear it in the songs.
The forerunner records “Moonlight City” and “Kamikaze Love Reducer” already gave an idea of this development. Two line up changes certainly did conduce to this as well. Increased record sales and the crowd’s reaction at the live shows prove that the fans are willing to follow that road.
Eight long play albums, just as many 7-inches and two 10-inch EPs, is what they can look back upon and their first musical home, legendary White Jazz Records, they really helped to be successful.
Their fourth record for SiLVERDUST records is once again made with quality. Driving guitars and melodies keep munching their way into your brain, all being held together by JM’s unique voice which is a perfect frame. 18 songs of which each and every one has got what it takes to be a good rock song. All that comes along on a double CD which will be released with a limited first edition and as a double vinyl incl. a bonus track. Band mate and regular producer Pelle Saether has once again done a brilliant job in the studio Underground in Vasteras/Sweden. The characteristic style of the cover artworks has been kept and created by the excellent Timo Wuerz.
Punk Rock, Punk’n’Roll, snotty rock, no matter what you want to call it, it remains PSYCHOPUNCH. And “Death By Misadventure” once more show their paces and prove they never run out of good ideas. One less anxiety about the future!
This is Scandinavian rock at its best!

Out Of My Head
Psychopunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say hello I say what's wrong
I want to do it one more time
Just let me drink til you look fine
It seems so obvious today
When I get drunk I feel OK
I wake up screaming on the floor
I'm gonna reach out for the sky
Another drink another lie
It's all the same when you're around
Two fucking shoots then I hit the ground
I love you dear
When I am gone I need you hear
I'm so confused I don't know why
All the good things have to die
The wind is blowing
I think I'm going down
And out of my head
Out of line
I'll be damned like silence in the dead of night
And I'm about to move out of here
Another drink and one more lie
Another you and I don't know why
It's full of shit and we all know
Who's getting ready for the show
And I'm OK just by living here today
Oh yeah
These lyrics from Psychopunch's song Out of my Head portrays a person who is struggling emotionally and psychologically. The lyrics suggest that the singer is confused, possibly dealing with some underlying pain or trauma, and is coping by drinking excessively. It seems as though the singer is using alcohol consumption as a way to forget their problems and to self-medicate. They seem to be in a toxic relationship with someone and are in the process of losing control of their thoughts and emotions. This can be seen through lines such as "I wake up screaming on the floor/ You say what's up just give me more." This indicates that the singer's drinking is fueling their partner's enabling behavior. They are caught in a vicious cycle of addiction and codependency. The chorus, "Out of my head, out of line/ I'll be damned like silence in the dead of night/ And I'm about to move out of here" suggests that the singer is trying to escape their reality, their relationship, and perhaps their own mind. They are looking for a way out, a new beginning.
It is possible that the singer's drinking has caused them to lose all sense of clarity and direction, as they express their confusion with lines such as "I'm so confused I don't know why/ All the good things have to die". It seems as though the singer is using alcohol as an escape, avoiding their problems rather than confronting them. Overall, the lyrics portray a person who is struggling with addiction and possibly mental health issues, using alcohol as a coping mechanism that ultimately leaves them feeling more lost than ever.
