New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Paul Collins is one of the most enduring cult rockers of the late seventies and a founding member of the legendary band The Nerves (with Jack Lee and
Peter Case). He started his solo career in 1979 with the release of his album The Beat on Columbia Records under the management of the legendary Bill Graham, and has released more than 11 studio albums as Paul Collins, The Beat or Paul Collins' Beat.
Out of My Head, his new record, is a return to the pure, unadulterated sound he helped create in his youth. On this new album Paul not only sings, but plays all the drums and most of the guitars as well.
With the collaboration of Paul Stingo on bass and harmonies, he delivers a true rock 'n' roll record of the kind that are not being made in today's world: simple melodies with classic songwriting structure, Rickenbacker guitars drenched in juicy reverb, straight up '60s pop harmonies, and groovy drums, all recorded reel to reel, by real players. With a photo cover shot by legendary NY photographer Bob Gruen,Out of My Head is a testament to one man's undying love for rock 'n' roll.
Paul Collins' Out of My Head will be available on Limited Edition Vinyl, CD, digital and streaming formats
September 28th via Alive Naturalsound Records.

HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT PAUL COLLINS:
"One of Out Of My Head's highlights is second track 'Go,' a blink-and-you'll-miss-it slice of power-pop goodness that's all skinny ties and fat hooks. 45 years into his career, Collins has mastered this kind of song, and there seems to be no shortage of them inside of him. It just might be the best one-and-a-half minutes of your summer of love." - Eric Miller, MAGNET MAGAZINE
"The power pop veteran's new album Out Of My Head is full of adventures." - Gary Graff, BILLBOARD
"... vintage and timeless. Paul Collins hits it out of the park with his phenomenal new album, Out of My Head." - Marc Michael, THE PULSE
"Paul Collins is still down in the trenches, touring across the country and beyond and releasing excellent records like this. Collins rocks like a man half his age and his energy and enthusiasm is contagious." - GOLDMINE MAGAZINE
"... one of power pop's greats." - NOISEY
"If you were to build a shrine to power pop in your shed, you'd probably place an effigy of Paul Collins at its centre." - CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE
"
Classic" - BLURT MAGAZINE
"Grade-A rock & roll that will sound great on the AM radio in your mind. Paul Collins is in the midst of an unexpected career renaissance, and folks who love smart pop and rock & roll with hooks and heart have been waiting for this, even if they don't know it." - ALL MUSIC
"A hard-working master of his craft, Collins rarely misses a step, singing love songs and songs about rock n' roll. He may not be reinventing the wheel, but he is a master of his craft, of which he has few peers." - ELMORE MAGAZINE
