Background notes
Archive material and source history
Paper Kings formed in New York City in the early 2000s with Jake Oliver on vocals, Ethan Stone on guitar, Ryan Harper on bass, and Alex Knight on drums. They released their first single 'Fire On Up' in 2005, which became a notable track for them. The band put out three studio albums over the next several years: 'Paper Trails' in 2007, 'City Lights' in 2010, and 'Unbroken' in 2013. Another song, 'Our Time,' also appears among their work.
Their music carried a straightforward rock sound with Oliver's vocals upfront. The group faced some internal tensions and industry pressures along the way, but kept recording through the 2000s and into the early 2010s. Their later albums showed a shift toward somewhat more reflective material compared to their earlier releases.
