There are at least two artists with the name Paper Airplanes: 1. Paper Airplanes is three-to-six-piece from Wichita. The closest comparison which could be found in the plains states is to a tornado, for the band can certainly pick up and toss around whatever instrument they wish and whip up a helluva storm when they're in the mood. Their music can be likened to a cross between early-Built to Spill, the range and audaciousness of The Arcade Fire, the organic sensibilities of Ticonderoga and the playful abandon of Deerhoof. “ And here I thought the days of exuberant indie rock were over ” — so begins a review of Boyhood on the esteemed webzine Coke Machine Glow. The writer, unconvinced by the music of Wolf Parade or The Arcade Fire, yearned for a follow in the hallowed footsteps of The Shins, Grandaddy, Beulah and Olivia Tremor Control. “ Then, out of the blue, came Paper Airplanes. ” They have released two albums, Boyhood and Scandal, Scandal, Scandal Down in the Wheat Field, and broke up in 2009. 2. Paper Airplanes is a pop-punk band from Sacramento, CA. They have released three singles so far: Doors, Beer, and Tinder.
