5 questions for Blackpaw Society

Rolling Around In Dead Things to Hide the Scent

Flying under the radar would be an apt term to describe Toronto-based indie rocker Blackpaw Society’s media presence—if dogs could fly, that is.

With three full-length albums to his name but very little information about him available on the Internet, Blackpaw Society struck us as being among the most mysterious of the artists we’ve played on the show. His album covers and titles, depicting human bodies with canine heads, and with titles like Rolling Around In Dead Things to Hide the Scent, only added to the mystery.

We sought out to see if we could shed a little light on this mysterious musician, and asked him five questions about his moniker, his music, and just what type of smell could be worse than that of the dead things he’s rolling around in. You can find his responses below.

For more information about Blackpaw Society, check out his official website, browse his Facebook page, or find him on Twitter. You can also purchase his music on iTunes (USA/CAN) and Amazon MP3. Or, listen to his album Lessons In Leisure, Vol. 2 streaming on SoundCloud:
