Paralandra

Paralandra is a high-energy rock band hailing from Springfield, Missouri, known for their blend of classic rock swagger and modern hard-rock edge. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist and guitarist Casandra Carson, the group—which includes her father Paul Carson on bass—built a grassroots following through viral YouTube covers (think Halestorm and Heart renditions) before dropping their own riff-heavy anthems. Their 2020 album *Street Magic* solidified their reputation for crafting fist-pumping tracks like the title cut and "Love Will Win," showcasing Casandra’s soaring vocals and the band’s knack for hooks that stick like glue.

Since forming in 2014, Paralandra has shared stages with acts like Hinder and Saving Abel, winning over crowds with their raw, unapologetic live energy. Tracks like "Only Human" and "Back To Life" from their catalog balance introspective lyrics with head-banging grooves, proving they’re equally comfortable writing radio-ready rockers and deeper, riff-driven jams. Whether they’re tearing up a festival stage or dropping new music, Paralandra keeps their Midwestern grit front and center—no frills, just full-throttle rock ’n’ roll.
