In the last six years, THE SCARRED has made a name for themselves as one of the hardest working bands in the underground punk scene today. Their
blitzkrieg, energetic live show has made it’s way across the country over twenty times since the band formed in 2003. At it’s inception, The Scarred’s first demos made waves in DIY zines across the country. This was quickly followed by touring in the old burnt out van, playing everywhere from garages, basements, bars, even an abandoned trailer, and an elevator lobby to some of the best stages in the most rockin’ clubs in America. They quickly gained a reputation across the U.S. as being one of the few bands who can
just be “One of the gang”. Hanging out with local bands and local kids across the country, getting to know them, and also a good reputation for promoters for putting on a great show on a stage of any size, from the smallest to the largest.
That’s why The Scarred has toured the United States so many times, because they’ve developed real relationships with their fans. After self-releasing their first 10-song full length in 2004, which quickly went out of print, in 2005 they released a split 7” with New Jersey’s “Void Control” bringing the sound of suburban angst and alienation from coast to coast. In late 2005, the Scarred was picked up by Punk Core Records of New York, and released their second full-length album, “No Solution” in 2006, which quickly kicked it’s way in to the heart of the “old guard” and the new punk scene. As one reviewer put it, “Punk is not dead, and the Scarred proves so!”
After touring aggressively to support “No Solution,” including a sold out summer tour with former label-mates Cheap Sex, The Scarred headed back home in late to prepare for the onslaught of 2007. Early in that year, Isha and Justin had a baby, and in the preparation for the spring and summer tours, Justin was involved in an accident that broke his leg and crippled his ankle, forcing him off his feet for nearly the rest of the year. 2008 Saw the return of Isha Rose to the drums, and the addition of a new Bass player. In the fall,
the band returned to their DIY roots and released a split EP with the NoName in China and Germany, as well as an online-only EP of the songs in the USA. And now The Scarred will do what it always has, work hard, look ahead, ROCK hard, and kick some serious ass in the process!”
