Papered Face

My old band, Paperface, has come up in conversation lately in one form or another.  Here’s one off our record The Legend Of Harley Knowles.  It’s called Darkside.

Someday, I want to re-release this record.  Jake Thro did some awesome mixes that need to see the light of day once more.

    That song was fantastic! I am perusing the internets for a Paperface site. Could you give us fans a link to an online store or something? I’d be interested in browsing/purchasing some of your stuff.

    Thank you!

  2. Chris, the song behind the current Time Warner Cable TV commercial (“Back To School 2012″? -with the kid getting accepted to college) is reportedly yours. Where can we hear it in its entirety? It’s really beautiful but I only know a fragment…..

    Hey Philip – you can buy The Legend Of Harley Knowles here – http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/paperface2 – I’m not sure about the physical copy but the mp3s are there. Plus there’s free streaming. Ahh, the glorious future.

    We had other albums. Here’s one that I love! – https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/paperface – three 19-yr-olds smashing on instruments. Truly a landmark creation in my grapple with music.

    The whole Paperface library is on iTunes as well! http://itunes.apple.com/ie/artist/paperface/id30768988

    And don’t forget to check out the Chris Merritt library on iTunes as well – http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/chris-merritt/id6768505

    JN – thanks for the note. Check out some Chris Merritt tunage here – http://www.chrismerrittmusic.com/blog/songs/get-evolved/ I don’t have a link to the piece yet but I will soon. The song was only a 30-second spot. I wrote and recorded it in about 15 minutes. Maybe I’ll finish it in another 30 :)

    Make sure to check out some Chris Merritt records though.

    Hey Chris! I know this is the wrong place to put this but I have no clue of other ways to contact you. I listened to this Time Warner commercial where you wrote the music to and I have to say I absolutely fell in LOVE with that song. It’s the time Warner commercial where the son grows up. Is there any place to hear that song? By the way you are a fantastic artist!

  5. Thanks so much for the reply! In my search for the artist behind that really wonderful song in the running Time Warner bit, I found that there are many, many people seeking it & who genuinely appreciate it like I do. I don’t know what it’s called, so I meanwhile refer to it as the “I knew this moment would finally come” song, heh heh, but I look very much forward to the link!

    PS Listened to your other music, LIKE very, very much!

  6. I’m looking for the TWC commerical song as well! My brother and I would love to hear the whole thing. Finish it soon! I’d love to hear it.

    Love the 30 second snippet during the TWC commercial! I don’t know if you’ve realized it but there are a LOT of people searching cyber space for that song. Great job on those 30 seconds, I’m sure the full song will be amazing if you finish it!

    I love the song from the TWC Back to School 2012 commerical. I’ve been searching for this song like a mad woman except I’m not mad. Please let me know when the song is available to listen. I’d love to purchase it for my iPod! Thanks.

    I cry every time this commercial comes on–my next to the last child left for college this year–it is an amazing song that really hits home. I would love to buy it even if it is only 30 seconds. You are totally talented…

    I totally love this song. I hope you get yo finish it. I just had a daughter and I would love to continue playing it while she grows up. I would love to be able to play it at her graduation party when I compile all her pictures for a slide show using your song. I would gladly buy your music.

    As, a fellow musician, Chris Dude, it’s a doggone shame that you don’t have that Time Warner spot someplace where we could upload the song! It’s amazing! And I’m so glad I’m not the only one obsessed with trying to find it. Best of luck with the Paperface! I hope it blows up! ;-)
