Accentuating Real Issues with Thought-Provoking Lyricism- Multi-Genre Artists ‘The Papers’ Stun with New Single

[ArtistPR]

Titled “No More Rich and Poor,” The Papers’ new record showcases compelling lyricism that spans Reggae, Alternative, and Pop music

EXETER, Devon, United Kingdom — October 30th, 2022 – With the release of their new record, ‘No More Rich and Poor’ on November 14th, 2022, The Papers shed light upon a pertinent societal problem. With an ingenious storytelling style and unique instrumentation, the artist echo a distinctive flavor of Reggae, Rock, and Pop music emanating from Brixton in London.

The Papers consist of John Fitzsimons (who is on lead vocals and guitar), Mike Fitzsimons (who covers vocals and bass), Norman Marsh (who plays the drums), Paul Smail (who plays Keyboards), and Rob Bright (on lead guitar). The group’s new EP was composed and recorded in Devon, United Kingdom, at the iconic Copps Studio in 2021.

A disruptive group in the Pop and Alternative scene, The Papers’ music instills within audiences a sense of justice, camaraderie, and community, built on the shared experience of trying to live life well. The group counts Bob Marley as a strong influence (with one of his tracks featuring on the EP, ‘Get up Stand up), as well as Ian Drury and The Blockheads and John Lennon.

The eclectic band remains motivated to create original and meaningful songs about the lives of underprivileged communities and bring attention to environmental issues. Their inspiration for giving back stems mainly from their humble origins on the estates of London, struggling for recognition.

“We are all responsible to each other and can work together to achieve a better life for everyone, in terms of our own lives, the wider community and the environment. Our environment is our life space, our love for each other and the thing that sustains us,” say the artists.

Apart from their music ventures, The Papers also support organizations that strive for environmental sanity, such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. They aim to reach a million streams with their original musical compositions and intend to drop two new singles next year and an album!
