There’s something about Seattle that refuses to let go of its ghosts—and The Probies sound like they’ve been holding seances in a garage somewhere off Capitol Hill. “My Paradise“, the first single off their new album “Impotent and Alone“, doesn’t try to hide its scars. It flaunts them, loud and proud, with distortion-heavy guitars that could sandblast your soul and a drumline that sprints like it’s trying to outrun the apocalypse.
Lyrically, it’s a lot to chew on—in the best way. Bleeding out, cold skin, acid rain… this isn’t your soft-rock comfort blanket. It’s a messy, honest dive into how pain and freedom can be two sides of the same cracked coin. There’s a twisted catharsis in the way the chorus throws its arms open: “Welcome to my paradise” hits like both an invitation and a dare. The verses feel like a philosophical street fight—asking if we’ve cried, if we’ve feared death, if we’ve ever been shy and still survived it all.
The delivery is amazing. The vocals don’t growl—they lean in. There’s a warmth in the timbre that balances the lyrical darkness, almost like a friend telling you everything’s falling apart, but with a wink that says, we’ll make it anyway. And then the final riff comes in. Absolute mayhem. Like the end of the world, but it’s got a groove.
About The Probies:
Formed in 2024, The Probies are four musicians tangled up in Seattle’s alt-rock history but steering their own damn ship. With their debut album “Time to Pay” laying the groundwork, they’re now kicking down the door with “Impotent and Alone“. They’re clearly not here to mimic the past—they’re dragging it through the mud and spitting it back out with flair.
