Wake us when all the indie guys shave their beards

About Me

Paperboy is NOT here to save the world with profound lyrics...
Paperboy is NOT here simply to supply a seemingly endless "groove" for your dancing pleasure (although rapid and inspired body movements have been witnessed at live shows)...
Paperboy is NOT here to mesmerize you with virtuoso soloing...
Paperboy IS here to rock your socks right off of your feet...
Paperboy IS here to have fun...
Paperboy IS here to sing and play kick ass catchy 3 minute rock songs guaranteed to make you have fun too.
Inspired by the high energy guitar/bass/drums approach of early punk rock new wave music and the sneer driven and straightforward vocal delivery of classic rock and roll. The net result is pure un-apologetic pop music. Paperboy definitely IS here to entertain. Pepper the live set with crowd fave cover songs from 1965 to 1980 and the fun is relentless.
All recordings were produced using vintage analog tape technology. Described by critics as "battering ram pop", "mint-condition '80s-bubblegum-pop" and "rampant radio ready pop". If Paperboy can make you think that you've heard one of our songs before or if we're lucky enough to have one of our songs get stuck in your head all day then we feel that we've done our job.
