Influences: Album review of "Everything is Alright" from AlternativeAddiction.com----"Originally formed in 2002 by ex members of Fear Factory, Cornbread and the more sedate Cool for August, Paperstreet have redefined their distinctive contemporary hard rock sound, replacing their original vocalist Luke Daly with the more adept modern sounding Chris Reece. With full on aggression-a trait more often than not absent from this genre of music-and an obvious radio friendly vein running through their core, Paperstreet come over like a hard rock version of Familiar 48. The controlled melodic urgency of the title track or the frenetic vitriol of ‘Pain’ exemplify an album alive with cathartic edge, smoothed by abrasive melody and awash with bludgeoning guitar. Tempo may ebb and flow throughout ‘Everything is Alright’, but there’s no less clout on the less chaotic ‘Fade Away’ or the Creed-like album closer ‘One of These Days’ leaving the listener in no doubt that eight songs on an album is simply not enough when the quality is this good."

Upcoming Events by EventfulAlbum review, Southeastern Performer Magazine-----"On Everything is Alright, Paperstreet shows a lot of sophistication and maturity in the band’s writing, arranging, and production. The production is clear and the musicianship is tight and proficient. With the exception of the occasional sophomoric lyric, it’s a damn satisfying listen. Bassist Andrew Shives (ex-Fear Factory, ex-Cool For August) and drummer Brandon Faulkner (ex-Cornbread, ex-Keni Thomas) are a formidable rhythm section capable of supporting the weight of the music. Guitarist Justin Cooper provides the musical drive of the band with big, meaty riffs, while Chris Reece’s vocals are powerful and emotive."
