My favorite Paper Bags artist is The Rural Alberta Advantage! I love Paper Bags’ limited edition releases of their records, and my favorite is my blue vinyl record of The RAA’s Hometowns.
9/1/12 10:47 am
Browsing the list of solid albums, I think my favourite is still “Glory Hope Mountain” by The Acorn. It was just vibrantly beautiful album that translated well live.

My favorite Paper Bag artist has to be a tie between: Elliott BROOD, RAA, and TPC. Favorite Paper Bag release is either Hometowns by RAA or Shapeshifting by Young Galaxy.

I can’t get enough RAA, and Hometowns has to be my favourite release. Drain The Blood? Amazing!

My fav Paper Bag Artist is Matt Barber. I am so looking forward to his tour stop in my town, Peterborough in support of Songs For The Haunted Hillbilly. Elliott Brood is a close second. I discovered this band on Ships N Dip Cruise with Barenaked Ladies. They are such a fun, fun, band.
9/2/12 11:28 am
RAA’s Howntowns album, no contest! Absolutely cannot wait for their next album!

Surprised no one put Magneta Lane! I love them– they’re indie, from Toronto, and have rockin’ music! Plus, the girls are super nice and personable. My fave tune from them is The Constant Lover. I’ll be back home in Toronto that weekend… please pick me!! :) xx

9/7/12 5:45 pm
A contest restricted to Toronto fans. That’s a sad way to treat fans.
9/8/12 4:36 pm
Rural Alberta Advantage and though all their albums are great, their best album release so far is hands down Hometowns. Best song release I would have to say is In the Summertime.
9/8/12 4:36 pm
Some of my fav bands are on Paper Bag, but by far the greatest and my favourite is Young Galaxy! Um, did you listen to Shapeshifting??? *drool* this band is so sick live. And Stephen Ramsay…amazing! Nicest musician to talk to. whether or not you win, I def recommend going out to this concert series…the line-up is worth it!
Oh, I also, I cannot forget another great release, ‘You Forgot it in People’ by BSS!
9/9/12 12:21 am
Favourite release is still PAPER003 “Heart” by Stars. I almost came close to wearing that CD out over the last nine years. But for band I’d have to go with Rural Alberta Advantage. They seem to embody the Paper Bag spirit the most.
9/9/12 9:52 pm
Favourite Artist: Cuff the Duke
Favourite Release: BSS- You Forgot it in People
9/13/12 8:25 pm
Favorite artist would be Moonface, and favorite album, With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery.
