THE PAPER SONS RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM, IN THE THROES…, ON MAR. 2

Dec. 17 -- San Francisco-based quartet, The Paper Sons, are set to release their debut album, In The Throes…, on Mar. 2 via minus HEAD Records.

A relative newcomer to the Northern California touring circuit, over the past two years the band has carved out a loyal following with the release of two self-released EPs (Fine Line and Underground) and a unique musical hybrid of soul meets progressive metal. Singer Tom McCullough, explains, “I'm a huge soul, R&B and hip hop fan. I've always loved to sing, and soul is a huge part of our sound. It just happens naturally.”

A number of Bay Area outlets have extolled the band’s music and live shows including SFist, Your Music Magazine, The Onion (San Francisco) and others.

The first single, “Blackout,” will be released on 7-inch vinyl in mid-January with their next live performance slated for Jan. 15 at Club Six in San Francisco. minus HEAD Records is currently streaming "Blackout" on their MySpace page, listen here: http://www.myspace.com/minusheadrecords.
