Paris, Texas was an American punk rock and emo^[1] band signed to New Line Records. They were formed in Madison, Wisconsin, United States, in late 1997^[1] by bassist Matt Tennessen.

According to CMJ New Music Magazine:

”Furious punk guitars that sound more rock than emo, backed by chaotic but somehow precise drumming...it's hard to believe Paris Texas were ever considered emo at all - there's much more bark than whine.”^{[citation needed]}
