The Paradox start new era with uplifting single “Good For Me”
Atlanta-based pop-punk band, The Paradox, are marking the beginning of a new era with the release of their latest single, “Good For Me.” Collaborating with Nick Furlong and co-produced by Andrew Goldstein and Robopop, the quartet is bringing back the larger-than-life alt-rock energy that defined a generation with this anthemic track. The band’s official visualizer for the song captures its cathartic essence through outdoor performance footage and candid moments, serving as a preview for what fans can expect from The Paradox in the future.
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with teaser content generating over 4 million views across Instagram and TikTok. This new single comes on the heels of their groundbreaking achievement as the first all-Black band to top Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart with “Get The Message.” Not only did this mark a significant moment for the group, but it also represented a shift in the landscape of alternative music. Their success extends to other tracks like “Do Me Like That,” which secured spots on Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Alternative Digital Song Sales charts.
Selected for YouTube Foundry Class of 2026, The Paradox’s inclusion in YouTube Music’s global artist development program speaks to their growing influence and reach. This program offers support, promotional opportunities, and grants to independent artists like The Paradox to help them navigate the music industry and build their careers on their terms.
Hailing from Atlanta and comprised of Eric Dangerfield, Christopher “Xelan” Bernard, Donald Bryant, and Percy “PC3” Crews, The Paradox is reshaping modern rock with their authentic sound and rebellious spirit. Despite Atlanta’s reputation for rap and R&B, the band is carving out a space for themselves with their electrifying performances and unapologetic approach to music.
Their meteoric rise to fame is evident in their massive online following, reaching over 2.1 million followers across platforms. Their crossover appeal has garnered the attention of industry heavyweights like Billie Joe Armstrong, Travis Barker, and All Time Low, as well as endorsements from notable figures like Joel Madden, SZA, and LeBron James.
With more music on the horizon and a highly anticipated performance for Tiny Desk in honor of Black Music Month, The Paradox is not just a band but a cultural movement. They are challenging the status quo and redefining the future of alternative music with their bold sound and uncompromising attitude. As they continue to push boundaries and break barriers, The Paradox is solidifying their place as more than just a rock band – they are pioneers of a new era in music.
