The John-Pauls are a four piece band from Austin, Texas, playing post-punk with a new verve.Vocals are shared by Phillip John-Paul, a flat but charismatic singer, and Mikila John-Paul, whose voice is vulnerable and fascinating.The John-Pauls music matches a jagged and hypnotic sonic sensibility to witty, emotional, and often hilarious lyrics about life as a middle aged misfit. They continue the tradition of indie-rock that raised them: Violent Femmes, the Fall, REM, Wu Tang, the Velvet Underground, The Smiths, The Feelies, et al.Their 10-song debut album recorded by wunderkind Matt Gerhard, engineer at Jim Enos Public Hi-Fi Studio and a veteran of many Spoon recordings. Gerhard recorded the band live in a South Austin home above a creek, one week during a wet Texas autumn.
