With their rapid fire rhythms, growling vocals and inventive guitar riffs these songs stay hooked in your brain ready for rapid replay. Indie-pop-rock at its exciting best.
Paper Heroes formed early in 2008 when singer, Matt Weedon , sent his song, Jenny Jones, into a SkinsLife competition. "It was the first ever song posted on the Skins Life site that made it into the show" – "we all love this track" wrote Skinslife and it was played on episode 9 of Skins in April with the band picking up prestigious Skins Party gigs in Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Northampton, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Leicester and Loughborough. They have played with bands such as Pete and the Pirates, The Cheek, Ladyhawke, Sneaky Sound System, Killer Kelar and Pnau. In January Paper Heroes played a 3 week UK headlining tour with Fran and Josh from MTV's 'Living on the Edge.'
The band are now developing songs for their first album and have released a 3 song EP (Jenny Jones, Anatomy, Have You Heard the Story?) which is on iTunes as well as a limited edition 7" vinyl with Jenny Jones (on the A side) and Help me (on the B side). You can order this from www.thegenepool.co.uk.
Paper Heroes are in the studio in March recording 3 new songs and are planning a tour through April and May for the release of their next single, Chinawhite.

Cheers :D, I'm still a diehard fan of you guys aswell, loving your tunes!!!! It would be cool for me to start doing more gigs, but people get reluctant about a young soloist!! Best wishes Peace Joe x
