Today, Paper Hands release their debut single ‘Early Warning’ on their own label via Tunecore. The track was completely self-produced and mixed, but was mastered by the fantastic Pete Maher (1975/Maximo Park/The Killers/Snow Patrol).
Paper Hands are lifelong friends Jordan Campbell 31 (lead vocals) and Billy Taylor 32 (drums/ guitar/ bass), after meeting as next door neighbours when their parents were in the air force at RAF Leaming in North Yorkshire. Their musical sound takes inspiration from 80s influenced pop and nuanced new wave, to modern rock with layered angsty lyrics.
“Early Warning started life as nothing but a voice note but became the catalyst for us creating Paper Hands. As a song it is a pure and honest exploration of styles bonded together by a signature rawness we aim to preserve. The way we write lyrics comes more from feeling than direct story telling or anecdotal referencing and ‘Early Warning’ is not exempt from this. This means that even to us, the songs meaning can change from time to time depending on how you listen to it. It also leaves it open to interpretation from whoever choses to listen to it.”
