Biography
June 14, 2010 was a big day for six high school/ college students in Vermillion, South Dakota.
June 14, 2011 will be a bigger day.
On the former, they decided to put off the next year of college, giving themselves 365 days to make a career out of rock n’ roll.
On the latter, Paradise Fears will release “Yours Truly,” their debut full-length album, as one of the most potent and rapidly-growing young pop rock acts in the country.
In July 2010, just months after the majority of the band’s high school graduation, they released Make Them Believe EP, produced by Jordan Schmidt (All Time Low, Sing it Loud). In just 8 months, the album has sold several thousand copies nation-wide, and the band’s career has taken off. They’ve completed nation-wide tours with Quietdrive and Floral Terrace across 32 different states, and have shared the stage with acts like Stereo Skyline, The Audition, and You, Me, and Everyone We Know.
Coming from a town of 3,000 year round residents in a state noted for its lack of a music scene, nothing has come easy. But these six kids grew up fast. “It’s been an entirely self taught process…with a very steep learning curve. We’ve had to teach ourselves how to promote, how to book shows, how to tour, how to record, everything…but it gives us a very unique approach, because in our area, what we’re doing is so unprecedented that we haven’t fallen victim the generic, cookie-cutter career path, and instead we’ve received a tremendous amount of support from our home town.” explained lead singer Sam Miller.
