new radicals

new radicals -lrb- stylized as Иew radicals -rrb- was an american alternative rock band active from 1997 to 1999 .
the band centered on frontman gregg alexander , who wrote and produced all of their songs and was the sole constant member .
they released one album , 1998 's `` maybe you 've been brainwashed too '' , an alternative album heavily influenced by the rock and soul of the 1970s , containing -- among radio-friendly modern rock tracks and love songs -- strong criticism of corporate america .
the band is known for their debut single `` you get what you give '' , which topped the charts in canada and new zealand , became a top 5 hit in the united kingdom , was in the top 40 in the us , and whose lyrics , which insulted celebrities at the end of the song , provided a minor media spectacle .
tired of touring and promotional interviews , alexander disbanded the group in mid-1999 before the release of their second single , `` someday we 'll know '' , to focus on writing and producing songs for other artists .
as a result , `` someday we 'll know '' received little attention in most countries and the band is widely considered a one-hit wonder .
