The Paddington Bear Affair

information:

The Paddington Bear Affair was an almost metalcore-y screamo band from Adelaide, Australia. They existed between 2003-2005, which time they appeared on some long lost compilations (to my knowledge at least), and released one demo and an EP.

Their self-titled EP is maybe the most Australian screamo sounding thing I have ever heard - there's just an air about it. I find it fascinating that so many of these bands came from Adelaide, especially considering how relatively unsung it is today.

Personally, I prefer the demo and that horrifyingly perfect lo-fi recording, especially 'A Universal Change of Tact: When Mice Attack'.
