Paper Aeroplanes are a British alternative pop band from Milford Haven, Wales, formed in 2009, although both members, Richard Llewellyn and Sarah Howells, have played together since 2003 (in the Cardiff-based band Halflight). Their album We Are Ghosts was released in March 2011 Llewellyn and Howells grew up 30 miles from each other along the coast of West Wales, in houses you could see the sea from. They spent their formative years walking on cold beaches, messing in rock pools and finding records in charity shops - a world, and two hour drive, away from the nearest music scene, or Topshop.?

Radio support from Radio 1's Huw Stephens', 6Music's Lauren Laverne, Nemone & Cerys Matthews and Steve Lamacq & Bob Harris on Radio 2 has kept the band very busy
