Sydney-based screaming rap-rock-electro-pop mutants Redhook unleash new single ‘Paralysed’


Sydney-based screaming rap-rock-electro-pop mutants RedHook recently unleashed their brand-new single, ‘Paralysed’ - produced by Stevie Knight (Trophy Eyes, Stand Atlantic) and Dave Petrovic (Northlane, Tonight Alive) and mixed by Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, The Ghost Inside).

Paralysed’ sees the band showcase their more melodic side, twisting their signature cocktail of EDM-influenced production and psychotic riffage with huge dark pop vocals, as singer Emmy Mack turns her aggression inward.



Anyone who’s ever struggled with their mental health will understand the feeling that this song is about, probably all too well,” Mack explains.

It shines an ugly but very real spotlight on those dark periods when depression and anxiety is crushing you - and inside you’re just screaming at yourself to snap out of it and get on with business, but physically - you just can’t. It’s like you’re incapacitated, you can’t even move. You’re fighting as hard as you can but you feel paralysed.”

Their previous single ‘Turn Up The Stereotype’ was supported via Spotify with over 100K streams, triple j Unearthed rotation, multiple spins on triple j (2018 With Richard Kingsmill, Good Nights, Home & Hosed, short.fast.loud & more), and a coveted 5-star Unearthed review from presenter, Bridget Hustwaite. The official music video was also added to rotation on ABC’s Rage.
