About Papertowns.:
Papertowns. is a 5-piece rock band that stems from all types of musical background’s. Formed in 2012, originally as a hardcore band, they released one EP titled, Passion/Aggression in May of 2013. They toured on the EP with Vices (Resist Records/AUS) and Hotel Books (Invouge Records) Dec. 13’/Jan. 14′ throughout the southern half of America.
