SoCal based band Wallpaper. made a stop in Minnesota July 21st as part of the 2013 Vans Warped Tour.

Wallpaper. frontman Ricky Reed played an energy filled show along with vocalist Novena Carmel. Wallpaper.’s high energy performance was obviously noticed by Warped Tour patrons because the audience grew as the show went on and by the end of the show the crowd was jumping and moving along to the upbeat party music.

We had the opportunity to interview Ricky & Novena about some of their experiences traveling the US on Van’s Warped Tour as well as some of their inspirations for their sound (video below).

Wallpaper. just released their album Ricky Reed is Real (Epic Records; released 7/23) available on iTunes and Amazon.
