Placing songwriting and performance ahead of all the superficialities often associated with being in a band, The Paper Jets are a tight, but versatile unit. As a full band, they are a blistering power pop combo. As an acoustic act, they are a witty, humorous bunch that has the ability to engage even the most diverse audience.
At the moment, the group is preparing an album - Pictures Like This One. Slated for a 2009 release, it promises to exhibit all the trappings of a great band - potent musicianship, challenging lyrics, clever hooks and some of the most memorable songs you're bound to ever hear.
Read what the critics are just raving about:
"Deeply lyrical...with a smooth vocal delivery."
(Sea Shore Music)"[Erickson] transcends the ubiquitousness that comes with a genuine gift for songwriting."
(Cafe Improv)"An oddball combination of American rock-n-roll, radio-ready 80's pop, and modern indie rock that sums itself up in an almost unclassifiable mix of musicianship, and poignant lyricism."
(Frank's Mom)In between proper performances, Brian volunteers his time as a WXPN Musician On Call.
