Paperback Tragedy is a punk rock quartet from Baltimore, Maryland, established in 2008! (give or take a few years.) Front man, Will West, and bass player, Frogg (Dave Fannon), have been buds since kindergarten when they met in the Principal’s office for their youthful shenanigans. Fast forward to 2002, they hooked up with their spirit animal, Moose (Clay Holland), to rock South Baltimore as the trio, Brat.  Feeling there was something missing in 2004, they searched for another guitarist and found C-Lunch (Craig Luntz) to complete the team. The band’s tight rhythms, catchy melodies, and buzzing harmonies have made them a perfect fit for sharing the stage with some of their favorite regional and national acts, like NOFX, Mustard Plug, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Belvedere, and Samiam.
