Scar Tissue emerged from California's goth/industrial scene in 1990 and was alternately labeled "power electro", "tribal industrial" and other adjective combinations exposing them as not fitting into a particular sub-genre.

Most of Scar Tissue's live performances were in California, but they toured the United...

There are two bands using this name. 1. Punk rock band from Umeå, Sweden. 2. Grindcore band from Belgrade, Serbia. 1. Scared formed in Umeå in 1995 and released their first record in 1996 (Oxygen E.P. on the Ampersand label). While Scared's early material is best described as fast melodic punk rock, their later songs - in particular those on the New Songs 7" and the Demo Sessions CD - belong more in the alternative rock genre. Today the members of Scared have moved on to another band Inspektionen, the main difference being that the lyrics now are sung in...

Forming at the end of 1983, the quartet known as Scarecrow could legitimately claim to be New York City's very first gothic band, just ahead of Of a Mesh, and they were a huge influence on later local bands in the same style such as The Naked and the Dead and The Ochrana. A stellar three-song demo appeared...
