God Bless Your Black Heart

The pAper chAse were borne out of Dallas, Texas, the kind of place where the everyday is all that happens. (John) Congleton, singer, guitarist, songwriter, formed the band as a creative outlet aside from his production work. Newly signed to Kill Rock Stars, the pAper chAse pulled out all the stops for their third full-length, "God Bless Your Black Heart." Theatrical and scary, "God Bless..." has an overwhelming theme of darkness and sometimes disturbing imagery. "What the Texas quartet brings to the table is a rusty steel cauldron boiling over with raw, angular, edgy post-punk rock music. The group's sound can be described as a recorded turmoil -- one that is beautiful at its core but displays a tooth-and-nails fighting voracity throughout every wavering yell and indiscriminate guitar lick." --Josh Zanger, Lostatsea.net
