The Paper Champions
Sounds from the Cutting Room
Reason Y Records
Grade: A-
This is sweet collection of b-sides, extras, and other early studio material from the splendid Atlanta-based the Paper Champions. Before PC smashed the walls with their terrific EP End.Transmission and debut full-length Weekend of Compromise, they were scratching and clawing through the steep climb of indie rock bands everywhere. The difference is that this four-piece actually do rock and their brand of uplifting, jangly indie rock immediately draws you in; even when the cuts are rough. In many ways, PC sound like a cousin of Chapel Hill’s brilliant 90s indie punk band Blankface – not exactly formed to perfection but with enough uniqueness to generate goosebumps on your neck. There is little doubt that if you are a fan of southern college town indie rock – such as from the locales of Chapel Hill, Athens, and Gainesville – you’ll love the rough cuts of Sounds from the Cutting Room.
