Hot off the press! (as in, just released today)
The Paper Melody is based out of Yuba City, CA. The predecessor to TPM was a band called Brightest Light, formed with members Jill Sullivan (voc's/bass) & Dan Vallier (voc's/guitar). Come 2008, guitar Anthony Reeder joined them & they officially formed The Paper Melody. Drawing their influences from the likes of Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, & even Harry Potter to accompany their musical influences of Thrice, Muse, & The Receiving End of Sirens; they recorded their debut EP "Conducting the Motion" in Vallier's room & followed that with a couple small tours & a win at the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands.
Another EP has since arrived - "The Nightmare Academy" was released on March 11th, 2011. Also: as a fun fact: Reeder also loved psychic Pokémon*.
This song is, of course, a cover of the early-early 1900's Ukranian Christmas carol composed by Mykola Leontovych.
