Its trailer features Highlight, by Brazilian artist Pabllo Vittar, who became the first drag queen to receive a Latin Grammy nomination last year. Flávia Cesar, manager, strategic/commercial/film sync licensing at Warner Chappell fills Music Week in on the story. “We secured the sync with Netflix Brazil and are immensely proud to have worked on Super Drags, an influential and ground-breaking series that is having incredible success,” says Cesar.

I LIKE THE NAME… Everybody feels paranoid sometimes, right? The group tap into the unease their name conjures too, sharp lead guitar lines sawing through lyrics that paint vivid pictures of the discomfort of modern life.
WHAT CAN I HEAR? There are a couple of EPs (After You and Eat Their Own) to dig out, but The Paranoyds’ best is yet to come, in the form of debut album Carnage Bargain, due on Suicide Squeeze on September 13.
BUT I CAN’T WAIT… Thankfully, there’s a wicked video for new single Girlfriend Degree available now, so get involved.
