Under-rated band a paradox for mainstream

Abstract:

In talking about Paradox I have read from PersonalMoneyStore blog a term of "Paradoxonomics", define as a state when good situations have bad results, such as if you avoid payday loans and end up getting a bounced check fee that ends up costing you more than you would have, had you just taken out the payday loan. Deflation is a similar thing – deflation within an economy is when the values of goods declines and the value of currency go up. However, there's a big downside: with deflation comes higher unemployment, as employers are forced to let go of employees in order to cut down on operating costs because revenues have fallen. There is good news, however, and that is that the chances of the recession leading to deflation are minimal.

Ours is UNDER-rated? This band is basically HIM with an extra drummer. Boring live show.
