The Paradox

Based in Atlanta, the Paradox play straight-up melodic pop punk in a style reminiscent of forebears like blink-182 and Sum 41. Led by singer and guitarist Eric Dangerfield, they began releasing music in 2024 and quickly amassed national attention as well as nods from tastemakers like Jack White and Lil Nas X. Their debut EP, NSFW, arrived in September 2025 and featured a collaboration with Travis Barker on the track "Bender."
