Papermaps
The four members of Toronto band Papermaps ? Dean Marino, Wendy Leung, Todd Harrison and Bobby Lee ? have a lot in common. For one thing, they're all left-handed. And they were all "gifted kids" in school, which means that people have long been asking them what went wrong on their gilded path to respectable, lucrative careers.
Most importantly, though, the members of Papermaps share a love for making "picture-perfect indie power pop," influenced by bands such as Spoon, Big Star, Television, the Beatles and MGMT. The band's self-titled album will be released on April 19, 2011 on Sparks Music.
Dean Marino, the band's founder and leader, has worked behind the scenes of music in Toronto since 2003, manning the console at Chemical Sound Recording Studio as Assistant Engineer, then Head Engineer and eventually co-owner. He has worked with acts including Tokyo Police Club, The Black Keys, Born Ruffians and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. However, Dean had always been a songwriter and performer at heart. Working off-hours, while climbing the ranks at Chemical, he pieced together his debut album, Central Meaner Street (released under the name EX~PO).
