Paw was an American rock band from Lawrence, Kansas, formed in 1990. The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist Mark Hennessy, guitarist Grant Fitch, drummer Peter Fitch, and bassist Charles Bryan. After self-funding a demo, they signed to the major label A&M Records and released their debut album Dragline in 1993. After Bryan departed from the band, Paw released their second album Death to Traitors in 1995 as a trio (bassist Jason Magierowski was brought in afterwards). The band separated from A&M in 1996, and worked with Koch Records in 2000 for their final album Home Is a Strange Place. Paw disbanded in 2000, although a brief reunion occurred in 2008.
