Band Members: Josh Inman, Jim Campbell, John TerLouw, and now with 100% more Jon Mann!
Influences: Girls, Comix, Dave Stevenson, Joe Jack Talcum, Nic Dalton, Mu Pan, beat happening, Make-Up
Sounds Like: That band you and your friends tried to start in high school because the only other band in town only played cover tunes of ballads written by heavy metal bands. Except you weren't really as good as the cover band. But dang it if it wasn't a good idea. You should have stuck to it.

"Legally speaking, Paper Fleet sounds kinda like Dinosaur Jr., with some 60's surf rock thrown into the mix. You know. Legally speaking." - Meredith Pitts, paralegal

"You guys sorta sound like Husker Du." - Some Guy, one of our shows

"So, you must be really into surf rock." - Guitarist, some band we played with

"Wait, did you rip off some of our songs note-for-note?" The Ramones, legendary punk rockers/glue sniffers
