Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you are all having a good week – I know I am and I think it’s mainly because I have been jamming out to this week’s neighborhood jams which I am featuring Paper Days! This California, dreamy-style, poppy rock band is from Carlsbad, and their tunes are hypnotic and can dance around in your head all day.

Paper Days consists of Niko Sitars, Jordan Graham, Nate Blake, and Xander Sitars. These guys know how to rock out by singing sweet melodies along with their happy-go-lucky guitar riffs complementing their style so well. I would describe them as a combination of Young the Giant and Best Coast because of their love of the California lifestyle. Now the moment I fell in love with their happy sounds was when I watched their official music video for the song Kind Guidance. The guitar melody in the beginning is like an invitation to a cheerful story, and the melody is infectious throughout the entire song – I couldn’t help but dance around! And let’s talk about Niko Sitars’ voice and ranging pitches – it’s mesmerizing to say the least. Lastly, about their Kind Guidance official music video, the locations are shot all around San Diego like the busy streets of the Gaslamp District. It’s great to see local bands promoting their own city! They have played at venues all over their hometown such as Soma, San Diego Music Thing, Carlsbad Music Festival, and at the legendary Ché Café Collective.

Creature and Golden are also in the running as my new favorite song. These two songs feel a little lower and slower, but the lyrics really bring it together – and the drums are a constant reminder that dancing is encouraged. On their Soundcloud you can listen to their EP titled Playground Dreams EP.

I could only imagine their concerts are full of love and happy respect for everyone around. The moment I heard those infectious heavy rhythms and sweet lyrics, I knew I was in. You guys should give them a like on their Facebook and let’s get them to a 1,000 likes – they’re so close! And check out their songs on Soundcloud below. Good luck, Paper Days, and I can’t wait to see you live!
