Paper and Plastick has signed Gainesville, Florida's Greenland is Melting. Described as a "folk/bluegrass trio" akin to The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, and Langhorne Slim, the band had this to say about the signing:
We are super stoked and honored to be joining the Paper + Plastick roster. Being from Gainesville, it's hard to not be influenced by the punk music that started here (Against Me!, Hot Water Music) and I would definitely say that our music has a bit of a punk shine to it.
The band will make their full length vinyl debut for the label in 2010, but in the meantime is giving away the album digitally, Our Hearts are Gold, Our Grass is Blue . Grab a copy here. Paper and Plastick (20 comments)

How about they finally fucking release the final The Explosion album. How's that sound? 5+ Replies

these guys sound like they'd be right at home at Bonnaroo more than at the Fest.

I'd rather see a headline like "Paper and Plastick sign a phenominal band like A Wilhelm Scream and fronts some money to get them in a decent studio" 3+ Replies

Paper + Plastick signings are really hit and miss, but the "hits" are usually better than you'd expect. The label really reminds me of the early days of Fueled By Ramen, when the label was putting out good stuff like Animal Chin and Foundation. | Features
