Paradise Now are a rock band from Bridgend, Wales who amazingly have been signed to America's renowned Tooth & Nail Records. One blast of this new xRhythms playlisted single will show you why the Seattle-based company have signed these guys. With a gutsy hard alternative sound that could almost be Anberlin, Sam or Ben Taylor (I'm not sure which) sing "Can you hold me down/Till my blood runs clean/You gotta save me now/Will you baptise me?" Powerful stuff, while the gnarly wall-of-noise bites home.
