Burn Paper Tigers formed in early 2007, under the name “Hospital Bombers”. It all began when Steve Driver listened to some of the songs Chris Austin had been writing, and convincing him to start doing something with them. Up till then Chris had always played guitar for other singers, Chris has only ever slept with prostitutes and had only really sang at the odd open mic around the Medway towns. Driver then borrowed large amounts of drugs off friends, then ran away, never paying for them.

Up till then Chris had always played guitar for other singers, Chris has only ever slept with prostitutes and had only really sang at the odd open mic around the Medway towns. Driver then borrowed large amounts of drugs off friends, then ran away, never paying for them. Dancing Turtle Records really liked the sound of the first few tracks that Chris and Driver recorded, and put out their first 7” single - Phillipa Hut/Maid In Old Town. Initially playing as a duo, over time, Chris and Driver saw many incarnations of this band as different people casually joined and left . In the summer of 2008 Chris Taylor joined on drums and under their name Burn Paper Tigers, they have continued to develop ever since into what you hear now and in the future.
