Biography

Glasgow, United Kingdom (2009 – present)

PAWS live in Glasgow, with members respectively from Tain (Highlands of Scotland), Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The band is made up of Philip, Joshua and Matthew.

Phillip first met Joshua at their high school in Tain, and the pair instantly bonded over an immeasurable love of punk rock. They were later introduced to third member, Matthew, by a close friend from Glasgow, Nick Anderson. Nick had been harbouring plans to start a band with Phillip and Josh, but found they were one bass player short. One night in Glasgow, Nick signed Matthew up un-knowingly to play bass in a band with Nick, Joshua and Phillip, who he hadn’t met yet. Days later, Matthew found himself driving through an icy winter wonderland, towards the snowy Highlands with his bass, and recording gear in tow, to meet the band in a log cabin.

The band took off after this initial meeting, and the four friends began to produce energy fuelled, Violent Femme-esque, anti-folk sounding music. After recording a batch of punchy recordings, under the moniker A Copenhagen Hope, the band played just a handful of small shows in venues and livings rooms around Glasgow in early 2009. The shows were passionately colourful, jubilant and engaging. However, after this initial burst of creativity, Nick later decided to move on and work on new projects.

Bored and constantly jamming, the now 3 piece quickly found their feet and have been writing, recording, and playing live since as the newly named PAWS.

PAWS bash out infectious, lo-fi, garage pop-rock that can quickly shift from cute melancholia to an unnerving territorial roar. On top of the pulsating fuzzy noise the 3 piece produce, sit dreamy melodies that bare the bones of their author.
