The official Soundcloud of Firefly Music Festival, the premier music experience set among lush wooded landscapes, featuring renowned headliners and emerging artists.

A collection of sound manifestations. 

👑🌈 Hello! and welcome. to the PicturePiecesArchive. I is JAIME. And THIS is my ❤️ manifested through media. AKA the digital embodiment of my soul. 🧺🕊️

Brooklyn, NY's Onesie have spent the last six years chiseling out their own idiosyncratic place in the musical landscape. Combining the trim, confectionary songwriting of 70s power pop, the socially aware wit and jangling hooks of 80s indie/britpop, and the sledgehammer crunch of 90s DIY punk hardcore, the group are now on their third album of timeless, catchy af jams that transmute our collective neuroses into something that will make you dance, air guitar, laugh, and cry…often in the same verse.

As a genre bending catch-all project for timeless, obtuse guitar pop, Onesie remain difficult to categorize, but for those looking for a turbocharged testament to substance in an increasingly vapid musical landscape, here comes your band.

Fronted by the southern local Aswan North and Bronx Native New Yorker Danny Santell, have crafted their own brand of rock music, uniting their diverse influences into a cohesive sound that's been resonating with fans nationwide. After having charted on Billboard's top 40 for Alternative Rock with 3 of their singles (Ride To California, Trinity, and Get Higher), and having landed a #1 spot on Billboards 'Heat Seekers' chart in 2010, Paper Tongues looks forward to building on the successes of their debut album with a new release in late 2012.

Of course, the best place to catch Paper Tongues is onstage, where—having shared stages with acts such as Muse, Dirty Heads, Linkin Park, Flyleaf, Cage The Elephant, Black Keys, Civil Twilight, My Chemical Romance, Sublime with Rome, Switchfoot, and Neon Trees—Paper Tongues is a band that thrives off the energy of a live show experience.

Paper Tongues agrees that the live show is one of the biggest aspects to what they are trying to accomplish. The excitement of the live experience only amplifies the already colorful album. Aswan’s vocal is tremendously loud and intense as he vamps on the melodies from the album and even gets into some of his old improve flow that he's done since back in the day before the band was signed. Devin and Joey’s guitars scream through a solid hip-hop driven rhythm section laid down by Danny and Luke. In the studio Paper Tongues builds keys, pads, synths, whirlies into their music and when on tour they are accompanied by one or two great piano players to hold down their electronica section. Summed up into one sentence, Paper Tongues is a band that lives for the live performance.

The adopted son of a United States Marine Core drill sergeant, Aswan grew up in Jacksonville, NC listening to the legends of country music. Conway Twitty, Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Tenaya Tucker, The Judds, Randy Travis, Reba Mcentire, Kenny Rogers, and Dolly Parton, to name a few, are the sounds that played in the ears of Aswan as a child.

When he was nine years old he began to sneak hip-hop and R&B tapes from his neighbor into his bedroom at night, and it wasn’t until high school that Aswan started listening to hard-core rap behind his parents back. He spent much of his time in school writing rhymes and daydreaming about finding his way into a life of music. But as a troubled youth, he instead found his way into a life of crime. Aswan began selling illegal narcotics, weapons, stolen checkbooks and credit cards. He spent a small time locked up in two different ROTC and eventually in the county jail. He made drastic changes and decided to leave that way of life behind. He finally left Jacksonville, NC and came to Charlotte, NC when he was 21.

Back When Aswan was 18, late one evening alone in the kitchen he started playing around with his voice and realized that he could not only rap, but he could sing.

“I thought singing was too soft back then, man. I never sang one solid note until I was 18.” says Aswan.

Aswan started mimicking other vocalists like Al Green, John Fogerty, Michael Bolton, James Taylor, and Aretha Franklin to see what his voice could do and found that he could sing everything they were singing if he worked at it. One of his biggest influences is Steve Perry from Journey, who has also now become one of Aswan's good friends.

“I didn’t even know who Journey was until 2001, and I started playing it through my speakers like they had just been discovered,” he says with an ironic smirk.

In the early 2000's, Aswan and a friend started an outdoor music event in uptown Charlotte simply called, “Uptown”. Aswan and his buddies would get as many musicians as possible, plug into the city’s power, and play an improve set on the corner of Trade and Tryon for 3 hours. The music ranged from all kinds of genres, but most was experimental rock. This is where the musicians now in Paper Tongues met and started playing together.

Love Music that makes my soul dance involuntarily.
