The Paradox have been a breakout pop punk act in the scene and the band has dropped a new song ‘Good For Me’. The band has also been announced as part of the June roster for NPR’s Tiny Desk series.
The track was written with Nick Furlong (Blink 182, All Time Low) and co-produced with Andrew Goldstein (5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low, YungBlud, Bring Me The Horizon) andRobopop (Lana Del Rey).
The release also follows a landmark moment for the band, who recently made history as the first all-Black band to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart with their breakout hit “Get The Message.” The achievement marked a seismic shift not just for the group, but for the future of alternative music itself.

The band also saw success with the single “Do Me Like That,” which reached No. 47 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and No. 4 on Billboard’s Alternative Digital Song Sales chart.
