biographical info
The Paper Cranes are a husband and wife indie-pop band from
Victoria, British Columbia whose specialty is crafting infectiously
melodic pop songs with heart-wrenching lyrics that make you want to
dance until you pass out and cry into your pillow at the very same
time.
The band is fronted by multi-instrumentalist, Ryan McCullagh
with his wife, Miranda Roach on the keyboards.
During the 4 years that The Paper Cranes have been active they have
supported bands like Pretty Girls Make Graves, Wolf Parade, Islands,
and The Walkmen amongst many others and have been showcased at Pop
Montreal as well as Toronto's North by Northeast Music Festival. Their
single, " I'll Love You Until My Veins Explode" was given a four star
rating by Pitchforkmedia.com and the CBC named them one of the 10 bands
to watch in 2008 alongside Crystal Castles and Tokyo Police Club.
