paper hats

London’s paper hats are carving a distinct path through the UK’s experimental and noise rock landscape. Formed in 2022, the band quickly established themselves within the capital’s dynamic scene, blending angular guitar textures, abrasive rhythms, and avant-garde sensibilities. Their music resonates with listeners in search of sonic adventure, marked by a willingness to push boundaries while maintaining a fiercely energetic live presence.

paper hats recently brought their electrifying sound to The Windmill in London in November 2025, supporting headliner CHRISTO at the “EMAIL! RELEASE SHOW.” Their formidable live music credentials continue to grow as they join line-ups that highlight the breadth and diversity of the underground rock world. This momentum is set to continue in May 2026 when they support an eclectic line-up headed by LIFEPATH99 at The Folklore Rooms in Brighton, sharing the bill with acts such as LIFELOOSE and REALLY GOOD TIME.

The band’s recorded output includes the single “D’Artagnan,” set for release in June 2025, which promises to encapsulate their signature blend of experimental rock and noise-driven energy. For discerning fans eager to explore the outer limits of post-hardcore and experimental rock, paper hats are essential listening.
