Paper Thick Walls

Paper Thick Walls

"Radiohead influenced male vocals meets Catpower influenced female vocals meets the soundtrack to Juno," proves a rather perfect pitch for this progressive folk band.  Reading about such amazing vocals is one thing but why do that when they can speak for themselves.

Click on this link, listen to the welcoming song and tell me they are not destined to be heard by a grand number of ears:  www.paperthickwalls.com.  See this headlining performance for Uptown Variety Live on Wednesday, August 11th at 9:00p.m. and catch their concert at Lincoln Hall (2424 N Lincoln) on Wednesday, August 25 at 7:00p.m. for $8.

Personal favorites from the debut album include Nyquil and Desolate Place.  Buy it online now.
