Album Premiere: East Coaster LP

"Now with a streamlined lineup and renewed focus, Paper Tigers are making up for lost time with frenzied new album East Coaster, a chaotic, noisy, and anthemically aggressive collection of bangers..."

Album Review: Charmer LP 

"Repeated listens is where the elements begin to shine: The razor-sharp guitarwork and production of Bjarki Guðmundsson; the heavy, absorbing basslines of Matthew Hughes; the thunderous drums and atmospheric percussion of Ben “Cutty” Cuthbert; and the sardonic vocals of Michael Medlock, a man with a street preacher urgency hellbent on warning the world both of the dangers within and an optimistic way out." 

Album Review: Charmer LP 

"Some highlights from the effort include 'Sandcastle' and 'Prodigal Son', but there's a little something for everyone on this album and it will continue to reinforce the notion that Paper Tigers are the best local band currently out there today, and they're just getting started."

"I was sidewalled...This band was full of fun surprises to my occipital cortex"

“Paper Tigers has joined the ranks among the city’s must-watch Boston bands.” 

"The band brought feverish energy that had their impassioned audience jamming and headbanging along as they played...The group powerfully charged through every song like it was their last with gusto and fervidity. With their dedication and enticing sound, they were deserving of a larger venue." 

"Paper Tigers make a timeless kind of music that is, at times, deeply embedded in the ’90’s Boston scene mixed with a new school Punk aesthetic akin to CKY’s earlier recordings... [They] pack quite the sonic wallop over five tracks of infectious and undeniable Rawk."
