Paradigm's sound has always been in a state of evolution. To hear their music today compared to what it started as, one would be challenged to believe that it was the same band. Fans have compared Paradigm to bands such as Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The Foo Fighters, but all admit that no direct comparison can be made. While being a fundamentally a modern rock band, there are traces of atmospheric psychedelia, classic punk, and progressive rock. But to really classify Paradigm, you just have to listen for yourself. When listening to their latest release, MAINSTREAM EPIDEMIC, you will be taken from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other. From the ripping, fast paced, punk rock style of the opening track, "The Truth Surround," to the epic conclusion of "The Lasting Impression," you will be riveted. Paradigm displays intelligent songwriting, thought-provoking lyrics, incredible musicianship, and all the passion necessary to make a mark on music today. It's Paradigm's time.
