The Paper Scissors

The Paper Scissors were an Australian rock band that existed between 2005-2012. The last lineup consisted of Jai Pyne, Xavier Naughton and Ivan Lisyak. Their music was licensed to several major TVC and TV series. Their sound was described as "a combination of garage-punk, rock and soul". Australian music site Polaroids of Androids described them as "undoubtedly one of Sydney's finest bands of the past decade” and they were usually mentioned as “criminally underrated”.
