The Paper ScissorsGenre: Rock / Indie / Alternative
From: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
"You hear me scream you hear me howl" what a way to announce your entrance on the Devil's blog. Sydney's The Paper Scissors new single 'Howl' swaggers with the irrepressible arrogance of a banker on bonus day. The band's first single ‘Yamanote Line’ was heralded by The Sydney Morning Herald without a hint of hyperbole (ok maybe just the odd hint) as “The Greatest song ever written. Truly” and 'Howl' is even better. Yes it's even better than the Greatest song ever written, that's how good it is.
But the Paper Scissors are no two hit wonders they've got a billycan full of stunning songs to tantalise your earlobes. Check out the other tracks on their myspace site where you'll find the aforementioned 'Yamanote Line', the fantastic freak funk of the woodwork squeaking Talking Heads meets Was Not Was 'We Don't Walk' (see video below) and the jittery cool 'Soldiers' which somehow manages to sound like Hot Hot Heat melting wax over The Cold War Kids. Just give the remix of 'Howl' a miss because it's a prime example of how to ruin a great track. A word to the wise stop trying to polish a diamond, don't meddle with perfection.
The Paper Scissors, Australia's greatest export since Kylie.

Been listening to these guys for a little over a year now. The lead singer Jai Pyne also has some songs he did solo as Pork Pies. They are awesome.
