About New Radicals
New Radicals was an American rock band from Los Angeles, active from 1997-1999, led by singer-songwriter Gregg Alexander who crafted an eclectic sound blending alternative rock, pop, and soul influences. Their breakthrough single "You Get What You Give" became an anthem of optimistic defiance with its soaring chorus and pointed lyrics targeting celebrity culture, while their sole studio album "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" showcased Alexander's sharp songwriting and the band's dynamic range from tender ballads like "Crying Like A Church On Monday" to driving rockers. Despite disbanding at their commercial peak, New Radicals left an indelible mark on late-90s alternative rock, with "You Get What You Give" enduring as one of the era's most beloved and enduring hits. Their brief but impactful run demonstrated how a band could achieve both commercial success and artistic integrity while delivering messages of hope and social consciousness.
