Sounding a bit like Duran Duran and a bit like The Killers, Paper Foxes don't trade substance for style rather, the slick synths and angular guitars draw you in so you can get hit with the lyrics, which are often about heartbreak, political turmoil, and the like. Their infectious blend of New Wave and disco not only packs shows Valley-wide but exemplifies the lively and joyous aspects of the local music scene. But Paper Foxes represent a choice that also feels properly aligned with Phoenix as a rich and vibrant city. It's difficult to say that any one band is a city's greatest musical asset - metro Phoenix teems with excellent, multi-genre artists.
