About Me

Band bios are tricky things. We could throw around the kind of adjectives you’ve read in Spin: earnest, heartfelt, passionate, professional, moving, authentic. But the thing is, you can’t trust they’re true. Ideally, you should listen to the record. See a live show. Yet we attempt to describe sound in words – like “what might happen if Gwen Stefani went out with a burly Coldplay.”Like paradigm’s latest record: Thirty Stories High. Fronted by a vocalist on par with anyone in the industry, hooks and melodies to spare – their open soaring choruses, layered guitars, and driving energy are worth your listen. Their previous release, Standing In Line, sold 2,500 copies, received airplay on 60+ college radio stations and Sacramento’s KWOD-FM 106.5, and been supported by a tour covering 19 states and over 100 colleges, including shows with Maroon 5 and John Mayer.While Thirty Stories is a beautiful record, it also isn’t a sham. They’ll back up every note and prove it night after night because it’s what they love to do. Believe it. Listen to the album. See them live. Tell me it’s not true.
