About Us
Paper Tigers is an indie-alt rock band from Boston, MA. Described as ʻpowerful and anthemicʼ, their music is a forceful blend of soaring vocals, dynamic guitars, and energetic drums.
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. Their philosophy is simple: write great songs and put on amazing live shows.
The band is included in the line-up for the Boston Calling Music Festival on Memorial Day Weekend, May 27, 28, & 29th 2022.
The band's third EP, A Schism Cataclysm, garnered local and national radio play fueled by lead singles "Ursa Minor" and "Goldmine". The latter spent 10 weeks on Boston Emissions with Anngelle Wood Top 5 Songs of the Week. The band was the first guest featured on the inaugural Boston.com Music Club (presented by The Boston Globe), hosted by legendary DJ Adam Xii.
On April 29, 2022, Paper Tigers released the lead single, "A Portrait of a Scene", from their forthcoming EP I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me This Sooner, to be released on May 20, 2022.
