Paw formed in Stockholm in 1991 and released their self-titled debut album the following year. The Swedish heavy metal band developed a cult following with songs like 'Couldn't Know' and 'Badger' that balanced driving riffs with melodic hooks.
They put out seven studio albums between 1992 and 2003, including 'Death in the City' in 1994 and 'Holy Water' in 1999. Their music often carried social and political themes, though their confrontational approach sometimes drew criticism alongside their dedicated fanbase.
The lineup featured Johan Bäckman on vocals, Peter Bjärgö on guitar, Håkan Eriksson on bass, and Johan Bergqvist on drums. Their sound remained rooted in heavy metal throughout their active years, with tracks like 'Cowpoke' and 'Sleeping Bag' representing their straightforward, riff-driven approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
