     It's been said The Paperboys' music is hard to describe. Truth
     is, you could add rock, Son Jarocho, and world beat to that
     list too. Call it 'Guinness with a tequila chaser while
     listening to an Americana Jukebox'. Or 'a place where Irish,
     Mexican and Roots music collide.'

     Of course, this multicultural mix is hardly surprising from a
     bilingual band, whose founding member is Mexican-Canadian and
     whose players cover a range of musical backgrounds from
     Bluegrass to Funk to traditional Scots and Irish music.

     "A lot has to do with where we're from," says lead singer Tom
     Landa. "Vancouver is a culturally diverse place which feeds
     what we do and the music we make."

     "Yes, we cover a lot of musical territory and have a lot of
     influences. There is a lot I can tell you about the music. But
     what it isn't is something that you can easily put into a
     little box and say "oh, this is Celtic" or "this is folk." We
     are much more than that."

     Meanwhile, critics from Billboard to the Washington Post don't
     have any trouble describing the Paperboys sound.

     "Astonishing eclectic folk-rock from acclaimed Canadian
     quintet."
     Mojo's Jonny Black.

     "A mix of Eagles laced alt-country, Tower of Power horns and
     gospel choirs, reminiscent of early Elton John and Van
     Morrison."
     Americana UK Magazine

     'One of the most exciting bands to come out of the folk-roots
     corner'
     - fRoots Magazine'

     "If you don't believe a jig can shred, listen to The
     Paperboys."
     Seattle Rocket
