The Paper Chase was an experimental rock band from Dallas, Texas (formed in 1998), disbanded in 2010. Since their inception, The Paper Chase (sometimes spelled "the pAper chAse") has produced a combination of discordant melody and jagged noise pop. The band consists of ringleader vocalist and guitarist John Congleton and piano and synthesizer guru Sean Kirkpatrick, with a heavy rhythm section of Bobby Weaver on bass and Jason Garner on the drum kit. Congleton has written and produced all the material the band has produced as of yet.
