There is more than one band with the name Paper Planes. 1) Settling on the name Paper Planes in 2001, after a few years of earlier gigs as a 3 piece under various names, the band from Melbourne, Australia was formed. Created by singer, songwriter and guitarist Claire Birchall the band became a 4 piece at this time. Their music has been described as head-nodding old school indie rock soaked in sunshine, with just enough shade to keep the pop-police at bay. There latest release "Golden Sounds" was released at the end of 2009.
