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:
“Did the kiss of Mother Mary
Put that music in her face?
Yet she goes with footstep wary,
Full of earth’s old timid grace.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”

“This music crept by me upon the waters,
Allaying both their fury and my passion
With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
Or it hath drawn me rather.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
