Artist description
Orange County's Scars of Tomorrow has an appeal and sound that bridges the gaps of many different areas of Metal/Hardcore/and melodic rock. Scars has built it's strong fan base off of hard work, good music, and a strong dedication to the hardcore scene. Formed in Early 2000, the band began as a close group of friends wanting to collaborate their similar and different music tastes. In January 2001, Scars finished recording it's first cd, All Things Change, and initially released it themselves to sell at local shows. Thorp Records quickly picked up the band and re-released the album in Feburary 2002 with all new artwork and full distribution around the US and Europe. The band has toured the West Coast and in Summer 2002 toured the US and has even played the Vans Warped Tour. The list of amazing bands Scars has opened for is un-ending, and has lately reached headlining status for shows in the Orange County area. A Scars of Tomorrow live show is not to be missed, and their shows and fanbase grow stronger at each one they play. The band is currently in the writing process for their 2nd full length album, for an undetermined label. If things keep progressing as they are, this next cd could be one of the most anticipated cd's in hardcore/metal as we know it.

Artist History
Orange County's SCARS OF TOMORROW have been taking over the west coast metal/hardcore scene in the past few years and have earned their way to being a consistent headliner drawing over 400 kids to their shows regularly. Having been spawned from the same scene that has brought the world EIGHTEEN VISIONS, TAKEN, BLEEDING THROUGH, and THROWDOWN, it is clear that SCARS OF TOMORROW have achieved the status of holding their own along side their contemporaries. Their 2002 debut "All Things Change" won mass critical praise and has had kids talking about them on message boards and at shows. After a successful tour and playing various west coast Warped Tour dates thanks to their supporters at www.punkrocks.net, SCARS has built a sturdy fanbase on which to drop their newest masterpiece, "Design Your Fate".
"Design Your Fate" intensifies the heaviness of their early material while treading new ground and eliminating old boundaries. This record boasts sharp production, relentless musicianship, and untold of sonic brutality. The band continues to maintain their sense of metallic melody amongst the massive heaviness they have come to be associated with.
The first step to designing your musical fate is to indulge yourself heavily in listening to this record and knowing that you are damn well better because of it.
"If you can imagine a hybrid consisting of the mosh of Hatebreed, the driving/danceable hardcore rhythm of Integrity, and the guitar work of Darkest Hour, you'll have an idea of what SOT sounds like."
