The Papers is a phenomenal musical act with singers hailing from Orpington, drummers from Wandsworth, and bass players based in Brighton. Inking a marvelous trajectory with their music, the artists are influenced by the Ska, Reggae, and Punk sound of groups such as The Police, The Clash, and The Specials. 

Signed by Maison Rouge Studios (led by Ian Anderson), The Papers recorded 30+ new songs in late-night sessions, drawing the attention of Panache Music, which signed them for publishing. The artists’ first single, “How Many More” on Radioactive Records, marked their first hit with a splash on the London indie chart and garnered airplay across the globe and plaudits from Radio 1 DJ Mike Read and John Peel. A UK tour saw the group play at iconic venues and events, including Glastonbury, and at the Rock Garden, The Marquee, and The Greyhound Fulham. Internationally, The Papers have performed in Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Seattle and continue to win the hearts and minds around the world.
