Paddington

There are two bands called Paddington. Finnish handicraft - pop/rock band Paddington delivers music that is genuine. With listener-friendly melodies, dirty guitars and punchy analogue synthesizers, Paddington takes the listener on a journey from the retro 70s to the freshness of today, without sacrificing a distinguished sound and flavour. Along with the mission to make music with a positvie energy and an elevating spirit, Paddington wants also to reach its audience on deeper level.
