The Scarred exploded out of Anaheim, California and immediately struck DIY media outlets like lightning with a four song demo, 1000 copies of which were sold, traded, or given away within a month. After stirring up interest with their pull-no-punches live show The Scarred shot out their debut full length, "Repression" on their own label and hit the road. The album went out of print after one tour and was immediately followed by a split 7" on the legendary DIY label PukeNVomit. After touring on the "Repression" record and split 7" for almost 2 years The Scarred had established themselves as one of the hardest working punk rock bands in the US underground music scene and were controversially snapped up by New York's infamous Punk Core Records. There they released their sophmore full-length for the label, "No Solution" (2006). This was followed by an aggressive year long tour schedule that included a sold-out US tour with former label-mates, Cheap Sex. After crisscrossing the United States numerous times in support of the record the band headed back to Los Angeles in 2007 to begin work on what had originally been planned as the second Punk Core album. Unfortunately, as production began Punk Core fell victim to the decline in CD sales and stopped issuing new releases. Without the label's support, a series of accidents, and a near-fatal tour, The Scarred spent time regrouping, releasing a limited-time only digital "Panic EP" in the USA and another Split 7" in China and Germany.

Never known for giving up, 2009 saw The Scarred join forces with a local Los Angeles label, Basement Records, to release the long-overdue, third full-length record; "At Half Mast." After the record's release, The Scarred played only limited dates as new lineups were tried and tested in the fire. With stellar reviews, Six Records, and over twenty Nationwide tours under its belt, The Scarred stands as one of Southern California's most battle hardened and best kept secrets. As of spring 2010 The Scarred announced they would still only be playing limited dates as Justin Scarred disappeared to write an all new full length album, while the rest of the crew are off touring with other bands in the interim. Keep a close eye on The Scarred, because once the new material is ready, they'll strike like a rattlesnake.
