It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything from Beatville, but The Paper Chase isn’t the welcome back present I had hoped for. They’re a moody and experimental indie rock band that would be okay if it wasn’t for the vocals, which are very herky-jerky, irritating and pretentious. (The singer kind of sounds like a cross between the guy from Rage Against the Machine and Richard Hell, but not in a good way.) You also get the sense from this band that they’re trying too hard to sound different, though they’re not as unusual or interesting as their contemporaries.
