2012 has been a very important year for PAWS.
It's seen the band sign with Brooklyn/Brighton based label FatCat Records and tour the UK and
Europe extensively. Their first release on the label in May, the self recorded/produced "Misled
Youth EP" was supported by a run of UK shows opening for L.A's Bleached (ex Mika Miko
sisters Jen and Jess Clavin). Key shows at Brighton's Great Escape Festival, Beacons Festival and
appearances at Vice Issue Launch parties in London and Brighton were met with great success to
audiences welcoming PAWS with open arms.
At the beginning of the year the boys recorded their debut L.P "Cokefloat!" at the Lightship95
Studio in London with Rory Attwell (ex-Test Icicles) and was released worldwide in October
2012. Singles from the album have enjoyed lots of support from influential UK radio dj's,
receiving plentiful airplay by BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, a session on BBC 6 Music's Lauren
Laverne, as well as ‘Sore Tummy’ being play-listed on BBC6. Into Autumn and the Canadian punk
duo Japandroids invited PAWS to join them on their European tour and shortly after that, their
UK tour. The tour saw PAWS play to their biggest audiences to date, including a sold out show
at London's Heaven Nightclub. After the release of the album the band celebrated by heading
straight back out on their first headline UK tour. Rammed out shows at Glasgow's CCA and East
London's Shacklewell arms were important highlights for the trio.
In the later half of 2012, "Cokefloat!" has received support from music media worldwide
including features from people like SPIN Magazine, MTV, KEXP Radio, Brooklyn Vegan and
Pitchfork. PAWS' music has even appeared on more than one occasion on the cult West London
based television series, "Made In Chelsea". The band are now preparing for their first visit to the
U.S in Early 2013 after another headline UK tour in late February. Plans for a limited edition 7"
release including two brand new home recorded tracks and a cover version are in the works to
celebrate their first visit to The United States.
PAWS go into 2013 bright eyed and busy tailed ready to take on new challenges and bring their
music to new places that they haven't had a chance to yet.
Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.

Dinowalrus
DINOWALRUS is a synth-rock band from Brooklyn, NY comprised of Pete Feigenbaum, sound designer/synth and bass wizard Liam Andrew, and veteran drummer Max Tucker.
Pete started the band in 2008. They started 2009 strong with a 7" release that was distributed by Impose and RVNG, plus another 7" release on the Australian label EXO.
In January 2010, DINOWALRUS put out their shape shifting, eclectic and erudite debut, %, on Kanine Records (Surfer Blood, Chairlift, Grizzly Bear). The band toured the east coast and California with the likes of Titus Andronicus, Fang Island, Aa, Signals (ex-mae shi), and Tempo no Tempo.
Later in 2010, Pete revamped the lineup and songwriting approach, and began working with Liam Andrew (synthesizers, bass). The two have been friends since college, where they both took a course entitled "the experimental traditional in pop music", receiving course credit for listening to favorites such as PiL, Brian Eno, Throbbing Gristle and Kraftwerk.
After lineup changes, DINOWALRUS then turned towards a more pop-oriented songwriting approach that drew heavily on the 1980s beats of Madchester plus other groovin' minimal synth, new wave, dark wave, and post punk angles, while retaining their psychedelic and krautock backbone. They released their sophomore album Best Behavior on Old Flame Records+Heist or Hit (Dead Confederate, Cloud Nothings, Millionyoung) in 2012.
