SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 3, 2025) — Perris Records announces the CD release of Paul Lidel’s Scream Therapy’s new full length album “ARE YOU READY” on October 17th, 2025. Packed with jet fueled arena rocking anthems “ARE YOU READY”, the brand new album from Paul Lidel’s Scream Therapy, hits like a backroom bar fight! Texas grit soaked in Sunset Strip sleaze, these ten hard rockin’ and instantly memorable tracks have the raw swagger of early GnR, high-octane hooks of classic Aerosmith, and adrenaline fueled power of early Van Halen. They will have you singing along and pumping your fist in the air, ready to party like it was 1989! Are YOU ready? The band is led by vocalist/guitarist Paul Lidel of Dangerous Toys & Dirty Looks fame.
Tom Mathers from Perris Records, “I think this is one of the strongest albums Paul Lidel has ever released. The opening track “Are You Ready” is a high energy track that sets the tone for the album. Everybody will be singing along the first time they hear “We Got Rock n Roll”, “Contact High” and “Bend My Will”. The choruses are super catchy and leave you wanting more. This CD will give any fan of Dangerous Toys and Dirty Looks their fix of hard rock. I’ve worked with Paul Lidel for over 22 years with Dirty Looks, Broken Teeth, 99 Crimes & Adrenaline Factor.”
Paul Lidel on his new album, “This is the album I have always wanted to make! It’s high energy, diverse, rocks start to finish and has that classic hard rock sound that honors my old school hard rock roots like early Van Halen, Aerosmith, and Ozzy. I think that fans of my other bands Dangerous Toys and Dirty Looks, as well as fans of bands like Guns n Roses, Motley Crue and AC/DC will want to crank it up!“

1st digital single and video on all platforms: “We Got Rock n Roll” September 2nd, 2025.“We Got Rock n Roll” is an anthem for all of us who still have “rock n roll pumping through our veins.” It’s a song that celebrates the music that brings all of us who love hard rock, together. It’s an anthem for those of us who are not concerned with current musical trends, those of us who still “live, love, sweat, and bleed” rock n roll, because “there’s nothing like it anymore.” The driving, high energy groove and instantly memorable sing along chorus, makes people immediately identify with, and relate to, the lyrics and the message of the song. Fans of Hard Rock, Sleaze Rock,Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal will want to put this track on repeat as they sing along with their new anthem!
