Music
The band's songs are originally written acoustically with overdubs and extras added in afterwards.
As the band developed and evolved, the music took on an alternative, indie rock sound with hints of old country and blues intertwined.
Paper Rival appeared on Q101, Chicago's alternative rock radio station, in December 2007 to promote Dialog. The band performed acoustic versions of songs from the album.
The band also took part in South By Southwest (SXSW) 2006, 2007, and 2008 in Austin, Texas.
In a November 20, 2008 blog post on the band's MySpace page, the band announced that singer Jake Rolleston be returning to school to pursue further studies, thus signaling the band's breakup.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.”
—Ian Anderson (b. 1947)
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
