about

Since the release of his first single back in 2009, Paul Messis has been a whirlwind of musical activity. Along with his own work as a songwriter, he is still an active member of the Higher State and the Suburban Homes, and also runs the small, well-crafted indie record label Market Square Records. Now he's back full circle with his third full-length album! A dozen new songs rooted firmly in his solid bedrock of sound, meshing jangly 60's-style garage-punk with folk-rock/folk-punk moves. This isn't a cookie cutter retro trip here. As the title of the album implies, his songs are very personal, introspective, and reflective on the present times we all live in, not only the perennial problems and struggles, but the new ones as well.

“Definitely one of the best deliberately vintage garage practitioners out there. ” - Nathan Ford, The Active Listener

“Nihilism, paranoia, unrequited love and a general non-acceptance on how the world is today are among the topics that fuel the Messis pen” - Lenny Helsing, Shindig! Magazine
