Austin A2W: Paperthreat
Over the last week or so I’ve found myself giving some heavy spins to the tunes created by Austin electronic-pop group Paperthreat. The band is fronted by veteran to the Austin music scene Rene Rodriguez who has been actively involved over the years in bands like Great Nostalgic, AM Syndicate, HumbleBums, and a few others. After Rene tired of his previous groups, he struck out on his own and began Paperthreat with drummer and former bandmate Vincent Durcan. The two then enlisted the help of Arius Holifield and guitar player Niko Bakulich to round out a live band. In the short time the band has been in existence, Paperthreat have only one EP which you can download for free over their Bandcamp site. I’ve been jamming that EP for a couple weeks now and I’ve yet to come up with a comparison I feel confident about. That’s a good thing thought right? Download that EP or have a listen below to their jam “Conveyor” and make your own comparison.
If you care to see the band live, head out to Beauty Bar tonight (6/30) for a a free show starting at 10pm. Zlam Dunk will be headlining that one.
