The Paper Champions

Soaring on perfectly-channelled energy with an undercurrent of eloquent aggression, Atlanta-based foursome, The Paper Champions are the quintessence of the post-punk movement. The gutiars flood and recede as naturally as the tides. The mathematical bass lines blend seamlessly with punching, unfaultering drum beats that command your feet to stomp. The flawless harmonies and soul-stirring lyrics leave the hairs on your arms and neck on end for days. To date the Champs have one full-length, "Weekend of Compromise" (Reason Y Records, 2004); a self-titled EP (Reason Y Records, 2003); and their highly touted 2005 EP, "End.Transmission." Their song, "Ask Emma," was featured on the annual Deep Elm Records "Emo Diaries Vol.9" and could subsequently be heard on an episode the MTV Real World/Road Rules Challenge in 2003 as their "outro" music. Before coming together in the summer of 2002, members of TPC cut their teeth in bands such as Levelhead, Hurt Reynolds, and Blindside. Read more on Last.fm.
