Canadian punk band, Headstones, puts the pedal to the metal in the new music video for “Psychotropic”. With unrelenting power chords and an intense charisma, there’s plenty to love about this new single as it steamrolls everything in its path.
Mixing the speeds of hardcore with the nonchalant theatrics of Devo, Headstones take a more minimalist approach with their visuals this time around with long shots of lead singer, Hugh Dillon, sneering directly into the camera. Beneath a pallet of psychedelic neon colors, the remaining shots of the band fly by unnaturally fast as the band zooms through the tune in under 3 minutes.
Bombastic is the word that comes to mind as Headstones demonstrates that this will be album with no holds barred. With reckless speeds and a biting attitude, all senses launch into overdrive with no looking back. And as the latest look into what Flight Risk has to offer, the band’s larger-than-life intentions are clear when it comes to the overwhelming force of their music.
“Psychotropic” is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, TIDAL, and Pandora. The accompanying music video is also available on YouTube.

Aria Velz is a director, TikToker, and Lesbian Media Enthusiast based in the D.C. area. On November 2nd, she sat down with me to talk about it all, from her latest production at Olney Theatre Center to the things that lead to her little corner on TikTok.
On October 29th, Olney Theatre Center wrapped its run of Prince Gomolvilas’ ‘The Brothers Paranormal.’ The disconcerting, borderline terrifying production was co-directed by Olney’s Senior Associate Artistic Director, Hallie Gordon, and Velz herself. The show was one of the spookiest times I have had in a theatre in quite some time. It was evident that the show was a well researched labor of love.
