Record Review: Paper Lions

Paper Lions - Trophies EP 3.5/5


In just two years a lot has changed for the boys from Belfast, Prince Edward Island, not only have they changed name from Chucky Danger Band to their current moniker "Paper Lions" but the boys have produced their latest EP, Trophies, played at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, kicked-off a Canadian tour in late September, but also been a recent installment on iTunes' 'Single of the Week' with their track 'Lost the War'.

The evidence for their string of good fortune, an energetic EP full of melodic, pop arrangements. Trophies may consist of only six tracks but that doesn't stop the boys from packing one solid punch of pop! Single 'Lost the War' sets up Trophies five other tracks, each with hooky guitar riffs, heavy drum beats, and energy from start to finish. 'Stay Here For A While' is arguably the catchest of the batch, a sunny jam that will have you singing along. Paper Lions are about as solid as a indie-pop band you'll find, and that's no small accomplishment.
