   About The Paper Cranes
The Paper Cranes are a husband and wife indie-pop band from Victoria, British Columbia whose specialty is crafting infectiously melodic pop songs with heart-wrenching lyrics that make you want to dance until you pass out and cry into your pillow at the very same time.

The band is fronted by multi-instrumentalist, Ryan McCullagh with his wife, Miranda Roach on the keyboards. The domestic duo is joined by Braeden Paterson on the guitar with the rhythm section being comprised of Jeff Mitchelmore and Alex Bodman on the drums and bass guitar, respectively.

During the 4 years that The Paper Cranes have been active they have supported bands like Pretty Girls Make Graves, Wolf Parade, Islands, and The Walkmen amongst many others and have been showcased at Pop Montreal as well as Toronto's North by Northeast Music Festival. Their single, " I'll Love You Until My Veins Explode" was given a four star rating by Pitchforkmedia.com and the CBC named them one of the 10 bands to watch in 2008 alongside Crystal Castles and Tokyo Police Club.


“This year’s Halcyon Days LP seems as timeless and effortless as a Spoon record, with enough new wave bounce to make Elvis Costello smile.”
-Chart Attack


“If someone tells you they popped The Paper Cranes’ Halcyon Days into their stereo and did not immediately get wrapped up in the catchy melodies and driving percussion, that person is a liar, and you should break off all and any communication with him or her.”
- Scene and Heard


“Victoria’s the Paper Cranes are certainly ushering in a golden age. The band’s efforts to date have paid off, making them a vital part of Victoria’s 100-mile musical diet. Having toured and landed favourably in towns and cities all across Canada, the ripple effect can be seen in their growing fan base. The Crane’s latest release, Halcyon Days, finds the band in fine form, comfortable with their sound but expanding their horizons just enough to keep things exciting.”
- Exclaim


“If you’re not afraid to admit your favorite Cure song was “Love Cats”; if you think Paul Weller hasn’t written a classic song since “A Town Called Malice”; or if your favorite part of Funeral is the last minute of “Wake Up” where the Arcade Fire go all northern soul, then the Paper Cranes could be your new favorite band.”
- Pitchfork Media
