I’ll admit, I’m a little taken aback. Paper The Operator’s little slice of poppy and melodic pop rock is definitely better than I expected. The band’s Solemn Boyz EP definitely doesn’t beat around the bush when it comes to indie pop conventions. They are content with their music being just a great rock ‘n roll that isn’t afraid to mix heartache and cynicism, with just a touch of lightheartedness. It’s not punk, it’s not pop, it’s not indie, but it’s definitely good.
