Keyboardist: Gail Nobles

The New Radical sent us a positive message.

The New Radicals was an American alternative rock band formed in 1997 in Los Angeles.  They recorded a song entitled You Get What You Give.  It was the first and most successful single from their only studio album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (1998). Released on November 3, 1998, it reached number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

In 2006, Ice-T was asked on Late Night with Conan O'Brien about what he has heard, besides rap music, in the last few years that really grabbed him and his only reply was "You Get What You Give". In a Time interview, U2 lead guitarist the Edge is quoted saying "You Get What You Give" is the song he is "most jealous of. I really would love to have written that."

 Something about the song hit me too when I heard it. I was in the middle of a sad thought. It made me forget that thought. The song makes you want to do something. The song plants a seed of life. Those are the kind of songs we need that makes us want to go on living. ‘Songs like Get What You Give’ by the New Radicals
