“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!

Voice Inside
Psychopunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rat ass feeling lost and found
Dig myself an early grave
Born to loose and hell to pay
Down on my dark side now
I kill time just for fun
That keeps me wake all night
Like a psycho train
Or the missiles in your vains
And I can't come
Everywhere I go and everything I do
I'm gonna strip my style I'm going down on you
Time will tell and you will see
Goodlooking you down under me
Baby , I'm so lonely
Be the sunshine in my life
You said you couldn't be the one
It cuts just like a knife
Feel so sad and lonely
When they lay me down to rest
I close my eyes and try to forget
The voice in my head
The lyrics of Psychopunch's song "Voice inside" reveals the inner turmoil of the singer. He feels lost and powerless in his life, as if he is digging his own grave. He is aware of the voice inside his head that's constantly nagging him, reminding him of his failures and mistakes. The voice is like a psycho train or missiles in his veins that keep him awake all night, driving him crazy. He admits that he kills time just for fun, indicating that he finds no purpose in his life.
However, amidst all this chaos, he longs for someone to be in his life, to be his sunshine. He feels lonely and sad, but when he thinks about the voice inside his head, it seems trivial in comparison to his loneliness. The singer acknowledges that he may not be good-looking or successful, and time will tell if they can come together.
The song paints a picture of the singer's struggle with his inner demons, seeking solace in someone else's love. But his own self-doubt and the constant reminder of his past failures make it hard for him to be happy.
