About Us
Paper Tigers is a rock band from Allston, MA formed in 2019. With energetic drums, melodic guitars, intelligent lyrics, and undeniably catchy hooks, the ensemble is on a path to establish relevance in the Boston indie scene.
Paper Tigers features Michael Medlock on vocals, Bjarki Gudmundsson on guitar, Matt Hughes on bass, and Ben "Cutty" Cuthbert on drums. Each member brings a different musical genre to the table, colliding into a fresh sound that New England is desperate for.
The band is included in the line-up for the Boston Calling Music Festival on Memorial Day Weekend, May 27, 28, & 29th 2022.
COVID-19 AND THE EFFECT ON THE BAND
The band worked tirelessly during the Pandemic to produce content and stay relevant. As a result, in the time period between March 2020 and April 2021, Paper Tigers released two EPs, shot and released a music video, played eight virtual shows including the 2020 NYC Mondo Festival, were featured on multiple streaming radio shows, and recorded a direct-to-vinyl session at Leesta Vall Records in NYC.
