Front-man, Ryan McCullagh's vocals are [...]
The ATJ 2008 act gets down & dirty. Watch clips from the Q&A here. Visit Papercranes on MySpace. MP3: Papercranes - Treasure
web site :: myspace It figures that once I leave BC, I finally give some love to a band based out of the province I called home for 3 years. When The Paper Cranes wrote I'll Love You Till My Veins Explode , well, they basically channeled everything that was terrific about Robert Smith and his black makeup brigade. The duo from Victoria was able to match the Cure's misery and malaise over hand claps, synths and pep. It would be easy to hide behind such a terrific song, [...]
Hace unas semanas escuché por primera vez la canción Treasure del grupo Papercranes, inmediatamente sentí la necesidad de hacerme con su disco, para lo cual hice, como suele ser habitual, una búsqueda en los dos sitios donde encuentro música a mejor precio, es decir, ebay y amazon . En esta ocasión, fue en el segundo de ellos donde conseguí el chollo, y unos días después tenía en mi casa el "Vidalia" por 5 eurillos. Son de Gainesville, Florida, y entre sus miembros cabe destacar que a la cabeza del grupo, se sitúa su cantante Rain Phoenix, que [...]

The D'Urbervilles / We Are The Hunters ( Out Of This Spark ) The debut full-length from Guelph's D'Urbervilles crackles with the anticipation of some bad shit going down.

TRACK : PAPER CRANES "Milkrun" BLOG : Green Pea Ness - (Los Angeles, CA)
Please do not use this I'll be honest: even taking the Biblical annoyances which have plagued my music-consumption habits over the last few months - the move, two computers dying, Time Warner being Time Warner, certain harumph cough hack being shut down by the cough blagh hork snxxx, etc - the fact remains that my musical 2007 was spent decidedly elsewhere . 2007 was, for instance, the year I entered into My Steely Dan Phase, a project which certainly took priority over determining whether White Williams was worth being [...]
Ohmigod, shoes Vampire Weekend, "Walcott" - I'd long since come to terms with the fact that Vampire Weekend were a pretty safe pick for the role of Indie-Rock Kids Who Come Clear Out Of Nowhere To Get Featured On Like Episodes Of The Office And Stuff for 2006, but until I made my way up to the Troubadour on Monday and saw a line nearly stretching from the ticket window to the (terrible and overpriced) Indian restaurant on the [...]

Every once in a while I have some friends over and (in the summer) we sit on the balcony, have some beers, smokes and listen to some great tracks. Therefore, picture the following when listening to the following: Its been a really hot day, its still pretty hot but the suns almost going down and any hopes of a conservative night are out the window, and you have just realized this...you throw caution to the wind and a great song that you know comes on. You blast it [...]
It has been a month since the last proper AYF? blog entry. A lot has happened in that time. Our Man Man show was very successful, filling The Silver Dollar with a happy, receptive audience. The Ghost Is Dancing were a great opener, and everything went smoothly. Thanks to all who came out, and a big thanks to the person who recorded a few tracks from Man Man's set and put it up on YouTube.
