Paper Anthem

About Paper Anthem

Like the Ouroboros, Paper Anthem begins exactly when it ends, as American singer-songwriter Joseph Hitchcock abandons a near-decade of solo artistry for a fresh start in London, home to all the late noughties indie that inspired him. Here, Hitchcock meets the other two members of the increasingly international Paper Anthem lineup: bassist Carlo Haltrich (Romania), and drummer Joe Spoors (Nottingham), all three filmmakers who accidentally fell into the music industry. The fruits of an aggressive recording schedule were finally plucked in December 2023 with the release of their first EP, A Victimless Crime, merely a small taste of what they're planning for 2026 as they continue swimming to the surface of the endless sea of noise that is the London music scene.
