PaperSailor is an industrial alt-rock band from multi-instrumentalist Michael Wilson, based in Glasgow, Scotland. Fusing huge riffs & sweeping, synthetic loops & melodies, Michael has crafted a unique style that stands out amongst the crowd, often compared to Nine Inch Nails, Royal Blood, CKY and Filter.
Live shows are where the band truly shines: Taking inspiration from the likes of Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters) & Josh Dion (Paris Monster), Michael joins the small pool of lead singing drummers, commanding audiences from behind the kit with hugely energetic and cathartic performances.
Since 2023, PaperSailor has been making a strong push for playing short-run, DIY tours throughout the UK. Building a strong email list of fans from all over the country has been Michael's main focus this year, using proven online sales techniques. By collating this sales data, Michael plans to use this information to organise tours based on where these purchases were made from.
The third album "I Prefer the Early Stuff" is due for release in late March 2026, with the preceding singles - Clobber, Neon Goth, Blood Red Rubies & Kung-Fu Grip - showcasing PaperSailor's new sonic direction, but remaining true to PaperSailor's message: freedom to express your individuality.
