PAR~A~DIGM

In a time where many mainstream rock and nu metal acts have faded out, Christian rockers PAR~A~DIGM continues to bring a strong sound to the table. “Price of Loyalty” is the band’s new release and is a showcase of what exactly the four brothers and a sister bring to the table. With a sound that rivals some of the legends of the genre, Reggie (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar), Allen (lead guitar, backing vocals, co-lead vocals), Szi (bass, co-lead vocals), Andre (keyboards, synthesizers) and Robert (drums, percussion, backing vocals) are slowly creeping towards the higher echelon of the Christian rock genre. This album delivers a solid experience.

The band’s expanded modern rock palette brings arena-ready tracks like “Fireworks”, “Cover Song” and “Never The Less” to the mix. These three are definite, driven, anthemic pillars on the album, as well as other obvious favorites, like the poignant and powerful “September Fades” and “To Heaven” or the virtuosic “Hold On” featuring Joshua Jack. But it would hard not to be impressed by any track on this album. The musicianship is tight, the harmonies are even tighter, and the lead vocals soar effortlessly above the complex but accessible instrumental arrangements.

Since debuting in 2008, PAR~A~DIGM has clearly matured and coalesced into a closely knit, professional team. They have all the passion and dedication of what you would expect from a Christian band, but the superb production and technical skill on this album really brings out the power of their music.

This Las Vegas, Nevada band is establishing itself as a true peer to the other great, contemporary artists in the world of Christian Rock. From the hypnosis of the mid-tempo electro-beat of “Yahoo” to the defining anthem “All I Have”, this album bleeds excitement and brilliance. The lyrics are powerful, the music is pounding and there is nothing missing from the entire work.

Make no mistake this is a very, very good album. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the very few new albums that I have actually listened to in its entirety multiple times. This may not sound impressive to others, but for me personally, this is quite an accomplishment considering my attention span is usually two or three songs per disc, with the quantity of music I have to devour on a daily basis.

The album hits hard and yet remains as readily accessible as is necessary to capture mainstream attention. It sports plenty of fist-pumping energy, but in that radio-ready way, assisted by an admirable production job by a crew that knows how to make face-melting rockers sound slick and polished without sacrificing the aggression.

According to some critics, including myself on the occasion, commercial modern hard rock is a dying genre, gasping its last, suffering the same fate as hair-metal did circa 1991. In other words, too many bands that all sound identical, stifling creativity and fostering an atmosphere of stagnation.

And while there may be a kernel of truth in these accusations, reports of modern rock’s demise are exaggerated. And thank God for that, because if the genre was dead, we wouldn’t have this kick-ass album from PAR~A~DIGM. - STAFF

PAR~A~DIGM has made it a point to experiment in every direction possible. New creative and explored acoustic sounds mixed with heavy electronics and walls of vocals.

The hard working quintet from Las Vegas has made it a point to maintain originality and creativity in their music. With influences ranging from Christian Rock, to alternative, to pop, and everything in between, PAR~A~DIGM packs a different punch with each song.

Every song is a blend of ideas from each member’s musical style, background, and influences. Reggie offers catchy, melodic vocals, new-age style synth lines, and rave-worthy electronic beats. Andre and Allen counter with aggressive riffs, dueling leads, and the occasional scream. Suzzi continues the process with melodic bass lines. Finally, Robert swiftly pummels out extremely energized and unconventional pop-punk beats.

Take for example their latest songs. With riffs that could easily blend into any hardcore or metal song, drumming that could rival many pop-punk acts, and enough vocal melodies to have you singing “over and over…,” you get a good idea of the versatility and variety in PAR~A~DIGM sound.

Another important pillar in PAR~A~DIGM sound are its lyrics. Stemming away from the conventional lyrics associated with rock and its surrounding genres (heavy rock, alternative, pop, etc.), themes range from psychology, to conspiracy theory, religion, and sometimes even attacking the scene itself. Our lyrics leave no stone unturned and no question unanswered.

PAR~A~DIGM is geared up to show us all what they do better than anyone else. Groove hard and in the pocket.

PAR~A~DIGM has perhaps the most inspiring and soul-energizing performers on this planet. They are inspired by many performers, and audiences old and young alike, but continues to be a hidden treasure for music fans worldwide.

Influenced by the likes of Nickelback, Skillet, and Breaking Benjamin, their powerhouse sound has recognizable roots music fans will easily identify and connect with. At the same time, however, PAR~A~DIGM is a wholly original act unto themselves, and their infectious use of melodic vocals, thunderous percussion, and searing electric guitar makes them a must-listen-to act. - JESSIE CLARK

YR Cross Productions (YRCP) released “Anyone Can Be Morphine” this fall, a multi-genre album that is designed to combat relationship issue. “Anyone Can Be Morphine” is one of the songs from The Price of Loyalty album, performed by PAR~A~DIGM. The song is about how the wrong type of love and relationship, can be a drug that people become addicted to, and like most drugs, there’s a need and a way to break that type of harmful addiction. PAR~A~DIGM is one of the better modern bands competing for fans in the rather crowded alternative and rock genres. It is a great injustice to sell them short as simply a Christian-influenced band, as they have a very wide mainstream appeal.

In my view, PAR~A~DIGM is the modern rock band that can make new age Christian inspired music that all people can relate too. Their tracks are simply exhilarating, and portray positive messages about life. That in itself is a pleasant change from many alternative rock bands out there. “Anyone Can Be Morphine” takes the listener on a journey filled with pianos, synths, guitars and a beautiful soaring chorus. What PAR~A~DIGM does extremely well is vocals. Reggie’s rich, wide-ranging voice creates the perfect tone for uplifting choruses and falsetto-styled bridges.

In their music PAR~A~DIGM has managed to not only explore, but successfully utilize a multitude of musical elements. Out of all of those elements, the integration of epic-like arrangements and back-and-forth vocals between the lead singer and the rest of the band has been one of the more distinguishable elements. With their last album, The Price of Loyalty, the emphasis seemed to be on all of those aspects of their music and it resulted in a convincing conceptual approach, lyrically and sonically, leading to a multidimensional sounding rock record.

The sound on their single “Anyone Can Be Morphine”, is big, the composition is strong, and the production comes across really tight while not sounding overly processed. This single is what it aimed to be; besides being a really great introduction to the album, it’s a record that lets the world know PAR~A~DIGM has the ability to adapt along with the ebbs and flows of not only the music industry, but their fan-base and own personal tastes.

As a band, they’re ready to set the genre ablaze with groundbreaking ideas. PAR~A~DIGM shows complete mastery of the elements they have chosen to showcase in their music, seemingly effortlessly, nailing a balance countless other rock bands have tried to achieve in the past few years. - VIDEO MUSIC STARS

Nice job here: Despite the spiritual nature of the lyrics, I could hear this song cracking multiple radio formats. It's got a strong hook, and the playing and dynamics are solid. As much as I dig the message, the lyrics don't really take me anywhere: Lots of others have expressed a similar sentiment about looking inward with much more creative wording. The synth break was totally unexpected, but I like it -- very vintage/analog sound to it, and the solo is tasteful and complements the song well. Keep at it, and I look forward to hearing you shatter a paradigm or two down the road.
