“Musically, these guys really cook. With more than a few tips of the hat to the Fab Four and the Police, you quickly realize this band is going to be the real deal, but even with a solid understanding of the history of pop music, they are working hard at crafting their own sound.” www.herohill.com “These cats have all the earmarks of a breakout sensation. Similar in style and sound to Tokyo Police Club, the band's learned stage show was a sight to behold and they most certainly came through in the clutch in what will hopefully become a watershed moment in their young career.” Cameron Gordon, Chart Attack “Leave it to a bunch of boys from Prince Edward Island to show Torontonians how to throw a show. Indie rock quartet Paper Lions did just that at El Mocambo as they brought the house down...left the audience in amazement, delivering one of the best shows of the North By Northeast festival.” Jon Brazeau, www.spillmagazine.com “Paper Lions are cracking musicians, marrying catchy, shout-along pop with madcap showmanship. These guys have been nominated for multiple ECMAs; it's only a matter of time before the rest of the country starts to notice...They can sing, they can write songs, they can pull off a bitchin' Queen cover with all the technical panache it requires, and they can get a tuckered-out 1:30am crowd moving, clapping, and singing in three-part harmony with no effort at all.” Natalie Manzocco, Chart Attack “...the lucky few that wandered over to the unenviable Hot Topic stage, at the other end of the T-Bird field, were treated to a performance by Prince Edward Island's Paper Lions, a ... quartet playing its first Warped gig. Sounding like Franz Ferdinand and moving like the Talking Heads, this group put on a real show, complete with fantastic tunes and stage presence, and enough charisma to draw more than 300 fans by the end of its too-short time on-stage. Watching the act's members grin like unabashed idiots, you couldn't help but feel that their kind of magic was the true reason to go to Warped – the off chance that you might discover something great.” Elaine Corden, The Georgia Strait (Vancouver Warped Tour, 2007) “To put it lightly, they kick ass. Coming out of PEI ... Paper Lions have got to be one of the most surprising bands to play at Virgin Fest. I couldn't help but be amazed by how melodic they were. The harmonies between all the vocalists was a match made in heaven, and even a simple instrument like the tambourine was played with the energy and emotion that could light up the drowsy day.” ronatron.net “Talent, personality, originality, and timing. Paper Lions have the vocal harmonies and garage rock guitar riffs that will take the music industry by storm.” Andreanne Sasseville, Talent Development and Programming Coordination, Sirius Canada “Stellar band you've never heard of – Paper Lions from PEI, whose gig demonstrated phenomenal musicianship, showmanship and energy. Think The Police (classic era) on speed.” Heath McCoy, The Calgary Herald (Calgary Warped Tour, 2007) “There's not a second of boredom to be had... there's something infinitely rad about this band...” Karolina Rous, SoundProof Magazine “Paper Lions grabbed the crowd by the collar with a series of catchy (and peppy) pop songs that were both creative, and well arranged along with a stage presence that was impossible to deny. If the rest of the band turned their back on the crowd, any one of these guys could have kept things engaging for the audience.” Amplifier Buzz (opening for CAKE, September, 2008) “What separates them from their would-be peers is their complete willingness to experiment… it was a great surprise to see them let it all out on stage like that.” Sebastion Buzzalino, BeatRoute Magazine (opening for Electric Six, March, 2010) Praise for Trophies “Trophies may consist of only six tracks but that doesn't stop the boys from packing one solid punch of pop! Paper Lions are about as solid as [an] indie-pop band you'll find, and that's no small accomplishment.” Shattered Vinyl (shatteredvinyl.blogspot.com) “Its six songs are all loud and fun indie rock teeming with great riffs and sing-along choruses… it's hard to argue when it's done this well.” Ian Gormley, Exclaim! “However the song that caught my attention on first listen is “Don’t Touch That Dial”. After one listen that command was fairly useless as the song is incredibly catchy and has ensured the only dial I’ll be touching is the volume to crank up this fast paced pop ditty.” The Broken Speaker (thebrokenspeaker.com) “These four dashing small-town dudes from Belfast, PEI will have you singing along in no time with their witty lyrics, revved up guitars and memorable hooks.” Discorder.ca “…6 songs of pure pop rock joy!” Snob’s Music (snobsmusic.net) “After all, I don’t really want to be belting out the “cut it on the sexy dancing floor” part from Don’t Touch That Dial when I’m alone in the car, but I’m man enough to admit that it’s happened… you bet your sweet ass it’s happened.” Herohill (herohill.com)
