Long awaited debut from one of Australia’s best kept secret…

I was lucky enough to catch The

Paper & The Plane’s first show (they were previously known as

Asleep At The Scene) in 2006. They were supporting Anberlin (USA) and

The Amity Affliction at the now defunct Basement in Brisbane and they

put on one of the most enthralling performances I’d seen from a local

band in a very long time.  


Fast forward almost 18 months

and TPATP have finally released a CD. Although it’s only 3 tracks

in length, “An Introduction” is an excellent beginning to what I

hope will be a long and productive recording career for this band.  


Each of the tracks on display

on this mini EP has an epic feel to it that some bands spend a lifetime

trying to create. TPATP are clearly talented song writers but the soaring

vocals present on “An Introduction” take the band to a whole new

level. 


At present, TPATP are label-less

so your best to get your hands on this CD is to hit them up at http://www.myspace.com/thepaperandtheplane or check out your local indie record

store. It’ll be the best eight dollars you spend. 


 

The Paper And The Plane will be

playing their first shows outside of Queensland in support of Brand

New (USA) so make sure you check them out!
