This week-end, courtesy of Heard, Paper Box is partying itself into fall with two sweet six-act line-ups in two days - nice one! After a hip hop showcase on Friday, you get as Saturday's (9.29) headliners Brooklyn's notorious art-punk duo Japanther  (who, on Halloween, will be opening for The Misfits!), sharing the spotlight with recent Deli NYC 'Artist of the Month' Team Spirit, and Unstoppable Death Machines, another mighty pair, who came crashing onto the radar in August with the release of their full-length 'We Come In Peace'. Also on stage that night, Cool Serbia and Malcom, as well as New Jersey's The Static Jacks who were added to the bill a little later. If some you're not familiar with, check out Heard's Youtube mix teaser - everything else you need to know, you'll find here. 

Feisty and fun, New Jersey-based alt rockers The Static Jacks have an exciting Spring coming up as they embark on tour with The Wombats. Beginning next Monday, April 23, the two bands begin at the nation’s capitol and head West. In conjunction with their tour, NYC’s The Static Jacks have made their new single, “Young Guns” (streaming below) available as a sample of their forthcoming EP, “Spray Tan.” Channeling their recognizable New Wave-Indie rock energy, the track gives listeners a taste of anticipated new material. Be sure to check out their tour schedule to catch them with The Wombats this April/May. – Meijin Bruttomesso
