One part American, three parts Scottish, Paper Planes came together in January 09 born out of mutual respect of The late 70’s New York Punk scene, the upshot is Surf/Rockabilly guitars with Post Punk bass runs and beats, all played over East Coast American yelps and drawls. The single arrives from a band on top of their form and is every bit as good as their reputation would suggest. ‘Doris Day’ is the perfect embodiment of their sound – all the energy and impact of their live shows distilled into three glorious minutes. It’s a punchy and confident track with it’s foundations in a stomping riff.
Few bands can make the jump from being merely interesting and talented to being absolutely essential but the Planes have pulled it off. Paper Planes feature regularly on this site and will be releasing their first single ‘Doris Day’ on Lucky Number Nice Records on 7″ vinyl & Download on Monday 12th October with a show at Glasgow’s legendary Grand Ole Opry on the 8th of October!
