Paper What?

Delivering sounds of sentiment and sorrow since 2020.

Currently based in South Salem, New York. Devoted to delivering the highest quality merchandise for the most passionate and exciting bands in the scene. Style is not something we take lightly.

Starting in a Rhode Island dorm room in November 2020, Paper Wings Records started after owner & founder Damian Frindt left RI-based cassette label Youth Distribute. YD released countless hardcore, grindcore, & powerviolence records on cassette including names like xFilesx, Gel, and Bullet Proof Backpack.

In the early days of Paper Wings Records each release was a test in patience and ability to create products. PWR’s first 6 releases were all cassettes, most of if not all were paint splattered. CDs started to come into the mix and eventually the hand painted tapes were phased out…

Paper Wings Records has always and will always be inspired by labels such as Ferret Music, Salsa Verde Fanzine, Good Life Recordings, DAZE, Trustkill Records, Wretched Records, Tribunal Records, ds//fp & many more.

We are committed to the beauty of metal and hardcore. Every release is handled with care and love. You will not have to look far to find something you like…
