This young McAllen, TX five piece has criss-crossed the US multiple times on solid self-booked tours, shared the stage with the likes of Ra Ra Riot and Color Revolt, hit SXSW, Panchanga, DFest and Cornerstone festivals playing to thousands and selling out first-run pressings of 'The Guest' and 'Cheaters & Thieves'. When you see Dignan live, you are immediately aware of the fact that you are seeing a group with that special something. Definitely one to watch!

In the studio it is producer/remix master Eric Frederic (Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell) who creates the funk and the flair, while onstage it is the theatrics of his charismatic, sequined alter-ego Ricky Reed who brings Wallpaper's pop culture fresh tracks to life alongside drummer Arjun Singh.
