Paper Lions Colin has become a surprisingly adept two fingered guitar player. Last practice before our first show since FEBRUARY, coming up on Friday. Looking forward to July 4th.

If you're looking to classify Paper Lions by genre, don't bother. The band from Belfast, PEI, crosses lines between classic rock, pop, folk, blues, and even barber shop. Judge for yourself with this Garage Band exclusive performance of their new song, "Trouble."


Paper Lions Colins finger has been broken! This may cause minor delays.

I guess he shoulda paid that loan shark back sooner. ;)

Ouch. Hope it heals fast too!


Paper Lions We did an interview and live video shoot for a festival we're playing this summer. The footage and audio are pretty raw for this, the first ever recording of our new song 'Hands Off My Guitar.' We hope you like it.

So just listened to the new songs and i love them! Don't Touch That Dial makes me want to get into my car and drive ( i've been studying abroad in London, far far away from my car, so i guess just dancing in my room will have to do). Oh and Sheila is so catchy :-)


Hey guys, I just want to let everybody know that The Coast is holding their annual "Best of" voting contest at this moment...
