Paradise Fears is an American alternative rock band from Vermillion, South Dakota.

The band has been touring and releasing music independently since 2011. Their 2013 album, Battle Scars, peaked at #2 on the iTunes Alternative chart.

Forming as a group of high school friends playing cover songs for school talent shows in the small town of Vermillion, South Dakota, the members of Paradise Fears began by deferring college admission for a year in 2010, instead working full-time jobs to raise money to record their debut album, Yours Truly, with Zack Odom, Kenneth Mount, and Jordan Schmidt. Upon recording, the band set out following other pop rock tours and selling their CD to fans waiting in line. The album sold 24,000 total copies and peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Uncharted Chart.
