Paper Tongues are an up and coming band with some decent stuff and a very catchy single.  The band fuses rock, rap and hip hop but remains low key, swaying from what is normally referred to as ‘rap-rock’.  While the beats are simple and the melodies are undeniably catchy as they ring with the distinctive voice of lead singer Aswan.  

Paper Tongues’ debut eponymous (I love that word) album came out only slightly more than a month ago so I’d look out for them in the future.  While most of the album is good, it’s really defined by the song Ride to California which I’ve been listening to regularly since discovering.  

“I can’t wait to get a ride to California

Cause it makes sense to go to California”
