| The Paper Jets at House of Independents |
Locally Sourced
By Bill Greenwood
Growing up in New Jersey, you're often defined by your response to a simple question: "Bruce or Bon Jovi?" It’s a false equivalency. There's plenty of people here who like both, neither, or are just kind of meh on the whole thing. But the deeper issue is that the question assumes there's no other music coming from the Jersey area, which couldn't be further from the truth.
I’ve been working with The Paper Jets for going on seven years, and in that time, we've been lucky enough to meet some truly amazing musicians who have also become great friends. And while we've toured up and down the East Coast, we haven't found anywhere that can match the sheer talent we've found within an hour's drive of our Princeton, NJ, homebase. From John & Peter's in New Hope, to the basements and Court Tavern in New Brunswick, to the enormous Asbury Park scene and its Brooklyn offshoots, the tri-state area is home to not only rock but also folk, punk, old-school R&B, surf music, and much more. It's this eclecticism that inspires us, and so we decided to dedicate The Paper Jets' first Artist Playlist on Spotify to the incredible bands we have the honor of playing with each week.
So give it a listen below, and the next time someone asks you, "Bruce or Bon Jovi?," look them dead in the eyes and say, "Lowlight."
