Home Is a Strange Place


Home Is a Strange Place is the third and final album by the American grunge band Paw. It was released on August 22, 2000, through Koch International.
The majority of the album was recorded prior to 2000. During recording, the lineup consisted of founding members vocalist Mark Hennessy, drummer Peter Fitch, and guitarist Grant Fitch, along with bassist Dan Hines. By the time Paw signed a label deal with Koch, the lineup had shifted as Jason Magierowski replaced Hines on bass and Kyle Hudson replaced Peter Fitch on drums.
Koch had outlined plans for the band, such as releasing promotional singles for Home Is a Strange Place and drawing up plans for a nationwide tour. Ultimately, Paw did not receive support after the album's release; thus, they disbanded shortly after.
