Hi there, we're a three-piece indie rock/alternative rock band called Paper Anthem. My name is Joseph, and I established the project in 2014 in Arkansas, releasing three albums before relocating to London in 2021, where I finally met my bandmates, Carlo (bass) and Joe (drums). We all get along super well so we're looking for someone we REALLY gel with. We want to be friends, not just in a band!
Since moving to the UK, we've been slowly working on a fourth album, and releasing singles from it every few months as we play gigs all around London. None of us are from London originally, so starting from zero but eventually being able to play with incredible bands at legendary venues means a great deal to us.
We've been best described as "Ben Folds meets the Pixies," but we sound a lot like Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club, Foo Fighters, Death Cab for Cutie, Fontaines D.C., LCD Soundsystem, Bloc Party, and Radiohead, among others.
We've been playing with our lovely guitarist Noor since September 2023 and although we adore playing with her, she's just on a different page in terms of how serious she wants to take a project. We want to start doing short tours here and there (we all have jobs, we're not trying to lose them) and trying to take this project to the next level, rehearsing more, just sounding as good as possible and she just feels more casual. So we need someone to fill her shoes.
We also really want a keyboardist to round out the sound. Our dream is someone to play synth, violin, and saxophone, depending on the song, but that's gonna be hard to find.
Please shoot us an email (paperanthemband@gmail.com) or Instagram DM @paperanthem so we can hit 2025 running!
