Paper Tongues
Band Charlotte United States Formed 2007 rock fusion band from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
Paper Tongues formed in 2007 in Charlotte, United States. Paper Tongues has 27 chart appearances on 18 radio countdowns from 13 stations on RockLists, spanning 2009–2012.

Paper Tongues came out of Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2007, with Aswan North up front and a sound that welds rock and roll melodies onto thumping beats, big and shiny enough to fill a stadium but built on a groove you could dance to. The EP Ride to California and the self-titled debut album, which landed on March 30, 2010, both arrived that year.
The title track, "Ride To California", is the one that stuck, a soaring, restless rocker that sounds like the open road, while "Trinity" showed off the band's heavier, more hypnotic side.
