"Riot Lovers could have been recorded in an old western saloon on Neptune. Papertrigger's distinctive combination of soulful vocals, guttural baselines, and crashing drums is too immense to fit into any genre. Infectious indie rock..."

"(Riot Lovers) is a solid piece of mess that you can’t help but keep coming back to. Full of the old and new, filthy and beautiful in one breath, Philadelphia should be proud to have such an outstanding talent in its arsenal. Highly recommended.”

"What do they sound like? Put it this way: If we were on a boat with a bunch of Vikings looking for some giant squid to kill, this is what would be playing. It would be madness, and it would be wonderful. ...They’ll blow your nuts off."

"Papertrigger are a young Philadelphia band that make Art Rock— the muscular, orchestral, dense, surprising, clashing sound of young men understanding the chaos of the world. …There’s plenty of potential here."
