Paper Or Plastic have been around for a handful of years but this is the first weÂ`ve heard of them and ---- what have we been missing?!? Classic Not Lame styled piano-driven power pop but the guitars are turned up alongside those ivories so donÂ`t be thinking this is early Ben Folds although IÂ`m sure he was an inspiration for some in this band as itÂ`s all about bouncy, biting melodies here on "DonÂ`t Be Like That". So yes, come to think of it, if you dig the idea of excellent Ben Folds Five sounds(w/ lots of guitar bluster all over the place) that blend sunny AM radio vibes, delicious & tasty multi-part harmonies and tender, careful melodies, youÂ`ve found it. As for other influences, thereÂ`s classic Squeeze and maybe a bit of early Joe Jackson. Fans of The Argument, sadly gone, will be very happy to discover Paper Or Plastic, trust us there. "Their songs are all killer, no filler. Sonically, they are somewhere between Ben Folds and Elvis Costello or perhaps what it would sound like if Steve Nieve(Costello piano player) were their front man and Elvis C was one of the Attractions." - Absolute Power Pop Blog. Where power pop and indie pop meet stands Paper Or Plastic with their brand of high-energy take-no-prisoners pop who churn out infectious, radio-friendly rock songs with strong melodic hooks, tight vocal harmonies and thoughtful, engaging lyrics. EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
