When I told my friend Michael I was going to do a 7 Silly Questions with PAWS, his first reaction was "I want them to tour the US so bad." And he is not the only one. Ever since their promo company started sending out the preview tracks, I fell in love with their sound. More to the point, I fell in love with their highly intelligent and often poignant lyrics which set them far apart and far above most of their musical contemporaries.
PAWS hail from Glasgow, Scotland with members respectively from Tain (Highlands of Scotland), Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Their debut full-length Cokefloat! is due out Oct 9th on FatCat Records. Currently on a European tour with Japandroids, we are kind of shocked that they had time to answer our insipid interrogatives. But we are glad they did.

Josh: Daphne and Celeste
Phillip: Spice Girls (but I'm not that embarrassed any more)

Unicorns vs. Narwhals? Who would win in a fight?
