There is more than one band with the name Paper Planes.

Settling on the name Paper Planes in 2001, after a few years of earlier gigs as a 3 piece under various names, the band from Melbourne, Australia was formed. Created by singer, songwriter and guitarist Claire Birchall the band became a 4 piece at this time. Their music has been described as head-nodding old school indie rock soaked in sunshine, with just enough shade to keep the pop-police at bay. There latest release "Golden Sounds" was released at the end of 2009.

Formed in late 2008 and based in Glasgow, Scotland is the indie rock quartet Paper Planes. They are fronted by New Jersey native Jennifer Paley backed by Scottish boys Craig O’ Brien (drums) Fraser McFadzean (bass), and Christopher Haddow (guitar).

Paper Planes blend traditional Glaswegian pop and rock sounds (think Camera Obscura, Franz Ferdinand, Orange Juice) with a healthy dose of early American punk, garage, and surf influences. This blend gives them a distinctly muscular sound, especially compared to their indie contemporaries. Read more on Last.fm.
