Paradyme

About Me

Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own! This band began in the hallways of Niagara County Community College. Nico overheard Andy playing guitar, and quickly realized he had to claim him for his own band before someone else did. Nico thought, "great. Now I've got a guitarist. I'll never find a bass player, or a drummer." Little did he know, Andy's twin brother Greg was a phenomenal drummer, and his brother Cepi was the sickest bass player to ever walk the face of the earth. The band hit it off instantly, and within hours had 2 songs written.
With a strong work ethic, Paradyme is quickly emerging onto the Buffalo music scene, and with the help of some of the best friends a band could ever ask for, we are getting the publicity we need.
Special thanks are in order for our friend Amanda, who so graciously devoted her time to creating Godly works of art for us (see her work on deviantart.com). She is also willing to do work with other bands, see our top friends to get in contact with her or message us.
Taryn Raburn, the best "new" pro-photographer out there. She's on our top friends, anyone who needs work done contact her. She does phenomenal work with us, and she will with you!
Kristin, without whom we wouldn't have any of the amazing pictures that are on our myspace, nobody to sell merch, and nobody to play with our dog while we're at practice. You're the coolest ;)
Sharif, without whom there would be no Paradyme website/presskit in the making, or anything else you may do for us in the very near future. We appreciate everything you're doing man, thank you so much!
There will be more added to this list as we grow, and anyone we left out, please don't be offended. We love you all just the same.

Recording

Though we are a new band, we've been bothered enough in the last few weeks to get some music up online. Just so you know, we are perfectionists and we would never put up anything we didn't believe to ...
