The Paddingtons to rock against racism
April 17th, 2006
THE PADDINGTONS are to play their last UK shows til the Summer festivals in the gaps between tours of Japan, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
They have written and demoed 30 new songs in their East Yorkshire home of Hull, some of which they debuted on their sold out February tour. These Include ‘Broken Man’ and ‘You and I’ which on some dates featured one of the Holloways on violin. The Padds will soon enter the studio to record a selection for their second album which will be out on Mercury later in the year.
"Skinny kids with a silent-hooligan pose. Lead singer Tom Paddington is hypodermic-thin, hair over his face, and a nasty sneer. It starts to feel claustrophobic, then the drummer shouts ‘1234′ and the club
explodes…. A 1000mph riot of maxed out, sugar-coated electricity" - NME
"Reckless high-energy guitar pop that leaves you breathless…..White hot…4/5" THE SUN
"The Paddingtons are writing tunes with enough verve and energy to take them out of the shadows of The Libertines" -MUSIC WEEK
"These punk-rocking, brogue-wearing teenagers are the real deal. Eight days a week" - iD
"Fantastic. Another rabbit-punch of pure punk-pop from our finest dumb pop hopefuls" NME
"Green Day with brains" - NME
"A torrent of unbridled punk energy" - TIME OUT
"The Paddingtons are lead by the most staringly intense frontman since Johnny Rotten. The band fuse the viciousness of the Sex Pistols and the wisdom of The Clash" - DAILY STAR
