PAWS

PAWS are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in Glasgow in 2010. To date, they have released four studio albums via FatCat Records and Ernest Jenning. History 2009–2012 PAWS formed in 2010 after the disbandment of a short lived DIY folk-punk band situated in Glasgow called A Copenhagen Hope. Their first official show as PAWS was on 17 May 2010 at Stereo Cafe Bar in Glasgow opening for Dum Dum Girls. Following this, the band played regularly in Glasgow and other parts of Scotland establishing their presence in the Scottish music scene. In their first year, they opened for many other touring acts from the US including Ariel Pink, No Age, Wavves and Ty Segall. During this time, Paws released their first home recordings on hand made compact cassette tapes via the band's DIY imprint CATH Records. In 2011 Gerry Loves Records released the first Paws vinyl single. "Lekker/Booger" was released as a double A-side single on one side of a split 7-inch on 8 August 2011. The band made their first music festival appearances this same summer in Scotland at T in the Park Festival, Wickerman Festival, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Loopallu Festival and Go North Festival.
