Garage rock trio Paws might be based out of Glasgow, but could easily be mistaken for a group out of Brooklyn or San Francisco, as it falls in line with the DIY, scuzzy rock aesthetic prominent in those US cities. However, Paws sets itself apart from the generic bands dominating this scene, with a stronger focus on jangly melody and less of a focus on lo-fi effects. The more successful bands playing this style of music have evidently taken notice of Paws, as the group has been asked to open for the likes of Dum Dum Girls, Black Lips and Ariel Pink when they have toured through Scotland.
