03:12:09 - The Paddingtons @ The Leopard


"Formed in Hull in 2002, The Paddingtons smashed their way onto the music scene with their infectious blend of raw anthemic punk/pop, taking no prisoners as they fast established themselves as the darlings of the London 'Inide' scene exploding at that time.
Fast forward 7 years, 4 top 40 singles, a critically acclaimed debut album 'First Comes First', sold out tours all over the world and an army of devoted fans later, the band were in love with being a band but were left disillusioned with the industry itself.
In 2007 they decided to to take their music into their own hands and created an independent record label, 'Mama-Bear Records' from which they released their long awaited second album, 'No Mundane Options'.Currently the band are preparing to release 'Shame About Elle', a FREE single from their album 'No Mundane Options' on the 23rd November.
The lads are also working with 'Dirty Pretty Things' guitarist Anthony Rossomando and band mate Didz Hamond on new material for a new EP. The EP is set for release in late February, The "Lady Boy" EP will feature 5 new tracks including a duet with Adam Green, called 'Lady Boy'. The band will tour November and December in the UK and Europe in support of the single release.."
