Paradox

The Paradox is an American pop-punk band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in June 2024. Consisting of Eric Dangerfield, Donald Bryant, Christopher "Xelan" Bernard, and Percy "PC3" Crews, the all-Black quartet gained rapid viral popularity on social media shortly after their formation. Known for their energetic sound reminiscent of mid-2000s pop-punk, they have opened for major rock acts like Green Day and released their debut EP, NSFW, in 2025, becoming the first all-Black punk band to reach number one on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.
