Diamond Dancer Review From The Railway Club

Their sound was full and vibrant and those twinkly guitar hooks had me feeling like I was at a show that was a mixing of early Smashing Pumpkins, Silversun Pickups and My Bloody Valentine.

Young Liars Sign with Nettwerk Records

I just listened to a couple of tracks from these guys and they have a good thing going. Some catchy pop grooves with changes and builds that have a dance feel. Think I’m gonna keep my eye on them.

Rolling Oyster Review With Paper Lions, Good For Grapes & The Slovos

By the end of the evening the crowd had gathered around the center of the bar in a circle around the band for the final sing along of the night. Paper Lions had a way of bringing everyone together and making us new friends while at the same time making us all feel like very old friends who hadn’t seen each other in ages, marking the close of a pretty sweet night on the Vancouver music scene.

Their radio friendly riffs, fast harmonies and quick melodies are sure to fill young iphones and ipods across the continent. Would I buy Impossible?
