thanks tatamag.com from a fan who wants to promote you to foreigners.
Paradox was founded in Thailand by 2 first year students (fresh man) in Chulalongkorn University. (CU) What's a thing that realize but hard to believe it's real.
Early fall in computer lab at CU, Tar (this name from Guitar) and other students was learning computer subject of Pedagogy. Tar sprung an idea up. He wanted to have a band for showing all the students in CU. Tar looked for other members in that computer lab and he found Song (2) who was listening to music. Tar persuaded him and he agreed. Song started to play bass not far before that time. Guitar and Song looked for other members again but they could not find anyone so at hiring studio, there were only Tar and Song. Song was singer and Tar was guitarist.
After they tried to find drummer for long time, they found Note at Loy Ka Tong. (mean a thai ceremony of floating tray) They met Note at Modern Dog concert. (Modern Dog is thai old rock n' roll band) Note could play drums very well so he became to one of band's members. Note was in third year at CU.
After that, this band had name was Hoy+ Jor2. (mean a kind of chinese sausage) Guitar was on guitar, Song was on bass and Note was on drums but vocalists were their friends. 1 year later they wanted to have their own album to sell their friends so they chose Tar to be permanent lead vocalist and Tar also played guitar, too until now.
When their songs were well-known. Their seniors at CU advised them to record a demo tape to some record companies. But a big problem was they didn't have enough budget for a good studio so the sound of music was very bad at that moment. Anyway they tried to send it to many records and got very good luck at EASTERNSKY records. Editor told them to change their band's name because Hoy+ Jor2 was old fashion. Song who was UFO fad, read a lot about this so he picked the word 'PARADOX' to be new band name. The debut album was Lunatic Planet. Gab (from T-Bone) was the co-producer in this album. Promotable songs as Nak7 Ma Ya Kon (mean Magician), Kai1 (mean Chicken), Ro Tree Ti2 Rak7 (mean Honey India) etc. The index of this album was created by Pui from Tee Sib Variety. (mean 10PM Variety)
Inaugural tour date Note met Big and persuade him to join paradox. So that time Paradox were Tar (Vocal and Rythm Guitar), Song (Bass), Big (Lead Guitar) and Note (Drums). Big always helped Tar and Song to compose the songs. After that, 1996, EASTERNSKY records was bankrupt, Note was married and went abroad to US. Tar and Song wanted to finish their last year education at CU. Paradox was stagnanted for 1 year. Later Tar found current drumist, Joey. Joey was Tar's cousin and he is so excellent like the best metal drummer in the world.

PARADOX's ACHIEVEMENT
2000 : Before SUMMER was release, Paradox filled in a great hit new artist album of Geny Records, ' Intro 2000 ' with the song, ' Tam2 Klang ' (mean amid)
2002 : For third album, ' On the Rainbow ' there were many things change such as; they recorded every musical instrument in the same time ; improved their lyrics composing ; put the national soundin song (wave of the sea, leaf with wind, howling dog, flies etc.) Some songs from Underground Music era as Fi (mean Fire) and Ma Lang Won (mean Flies) were remixed and then they were hit.
2003 : The fourth album ' Free Style ' was pop-rock mix with nu-metal. I think this is the best album. This album was release before Subliminal Verse of SlipKnoT for 1 year but interlude melody of Lop2 (mean miser) and The Nameless were similar. Not to confuse -No One Mimic- they are artist by themselves. I only want you to know Thai Metal Band! Three records company, More Music Records, Geny Records and Up-G Records produced a extra album, 'Little Rock Project' incorporate with Clash, ABnormal, Paradox, I-zax, Ultra Chuadz, Zeal, Kala and a old band who came back, Micro by picked 25 hit song to remix in own styles.
2006: Paradox released the current albums name, "Paradox X" because that time, the band was 10 years old. This album features a lot of nice bonus song. They are still the strangest in music and lyrics as their identity.
