Paper Lions have been busy. Since forming in 2001, they have recorded a full length album (The Symptom and the Sick, Kindercore Records), twice played SXSW and CMJ music festivals, played shows or completed tours with bands such as The Fall, Panthers, Interpol, I am the World Trade Center, We Regazzi, Maserati, the Ravenettes, and Glass Candy and the Shattered Theater.
When Paper Lions sat down to begin writing new material in the Fall of 2003, they found that their earlier inspirations of 90's era post-rock had been shaken off, instead they opted for a continuation of the ideas laid down by early post-punk bands like Wire, Killing Joke, and P.I.L. Paper Lions incorporated these influences into their already diverse songwriting abilities. The results of the recordings with Josh McKay were astonishing and a huge step forward for the band. These songs envelop the listener with urgency and tension, much like the first time you placed a Rough Trade Records release on your turntable.
