Release Notes:
--------
Based out of OHIO (Columbus/Cincinnati) PAPER AIRPLANE has set its path
on creating melodic, vocal-based music that never really goes where you
think it will - and don't be fooled by the sunny melodies, the songs
often deal with topics most bands would rather not touch. Since 1997
singer/songwriter and crime/city journalist Ryan Horns has been performing
under the solo name "The Last Hotel," basing songs on offbeat topics,
people and events he has written about as a small town crime reporter.
The music received some critical acclaim, radio play, major label attention
and dedicated fans after its self-titled EP was released in 2003. But by
the end of 2004, what followed was a line up change and a whole new focus
on why Horns wanted to make music. The point was to completely start from
scratch and base everything on the music. With a strong DIY approach,
things soon fell together. Since early 2005 the group's underground status
has risen fast, garnering media praise, spots on the Desdemona Festival,
Midpoint Music Festival, the Midwest Music Summit and being named among
Columbus Alive's 2007 "Bands to Watch." The group has been able to mobilize
a great regional following based on a tight, decidedly more aggressive and
spirited sound, than those shows of the past. The key was the luck Horns
had in meeting drummer Antonio Garza (Asher), bassist Jeremy Darwin Foltz
(Planet-12/Pasquali) and keyboardist Teresa Kent. Along the way, Foltz
headed off for sunny Oakland, CA. and the amazing Caleb Bandy (Templeton,
Jon Chinn) took over bass duties. Together, the band has found a way to
make creative songs that jump across the board from dirty garage rock, to
delicate acoustic melodies and harmonies, while always keeping a static
personality. Paper Airplane's debut release "Middlemarch" is out now on
All Hail Records. Over the years, Horns and bandmates have supported such
national recording artists as Mates of State, The Walkmen, Rogue Wave,
Matt Pond PA, The National, Robbers on High Street, The Redwalls, Richard
Swift, Howlin' Maggie, the legendary Dick Dale, The Minders and many more
