Dear Everyone,

We have recently been informed that Jacob has left the band to go back to school. Thus, Paper Rival as you know it is no more. We wish Jacob the best of luck with whatever it is he chooses to pursue.

The merchandise that is available on our online merch store will be the last Paper Rival merch available.

With that said, we want to extend the utmost amount of gratitude and thankfulness to you for coming to our performances, listening to our recordings, sharing a place to stay, spreading the word, and for supporting us in any way at all.

Stay tuned. Who knows what the future holds?

Warmest wishes to you and yours over the holidays and any other day,

Us

I've seen you guys twice, but I didn't really get into your music until after the second show and I was hoping to see you and actually sing along to all your songs... I'm very upset. :(

But best of luck with everything you all choose to do... we will still support you!

What a strange coincidence; we just broke up as well.

What?! WHAT?!?! I've only seen you guys ONCE!!! And that was the very first time I even knew you guys existed! And I LOVED y'all, so much! And I was hoping on seeing you guys again in the future!!! :/

This deeply saddens me. But, alas, all I hope is for the very best for each and every one of you.

I wish Jake all the best in his academic endeavors!

It is sad that the paper rival chapter has come to an end. But I'm thankful for so many wonderful memories that you have given me over the last couple years. I'm especially glad that I was able to make the trip to Nashville for the CD release show.

I hope that a new chapter is yet to come. Regardless of what it might be you will always have my support and encouragement.

Me

OMG. First, The New Frontiers now you guys. Why are the bands that make amazing music breaking up but we can't get rid of Jessica Simpson or Britney Spears? T_T I saw you guys in Dallas and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Good luck with whatever you guys decide to do here on out.

this isnt who i am...from confidence to self-doubt

 
I couldn't believe it when my brother told me yesterday. It makes me sad, but hopefully the rest of you will continue. You were all very amazing and talented guys. I hope I'll get to see you again. If not I wish nothing but the best for you and thank you for sharing part of your talent and passion with us.

If anyone is interested, Jacob put a post on AP.net that helps you get a better idea about what its like to be in a touring band. Also I am sorry to hear that things are not working out for you guys right now. I will never stop playing your music and I hope to hear new things in the future. :)
