The Paper Chase: Someday This Could All Be Yours Vol. 1

The Paper Chase
Someday This Could All Be Yours Vol. 1
Kill Rock Stars [2009]







Fire Drill Review:
Are you up for a good concept album? Not sure? How about a concept album that covers ten natural disasters? Well that is exactly what you are going to get from Dallas, Texas's Paper Chase and their return to the scene with Someday This Could All Be Yours Vol. 1 after being gone three years. It is an upbeat and propulsive record that does not hold back as each song has a special intensity with leader John Congleton's slightly off key vocals and the multitude of instruments used to bring each of these songs into a frenzy. A truly interesting ride and concept, complete with weather warning narrative voices that make you want to take shelter - with your headphones!

Key Track: "What Should We Do With Your Body (The Lightning)"

Band With Similar Fire: Cursive
