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.
