Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, Scars were a new wave band active as a unit from 1977 - 1982.
Live shows and a handful of 45's in the UK led to their one and only LP release in 1981.
A stressful summer of '82 tour in support of headlining band The Church hastened the group's break-up by the end of that year.
That one album they left behind is a winner; Evocative of the era, but standing out among many other acts. A fine blend of New Romantic charm and dark post-punk overtones.
As of 2007 the album had finally been issued to CD in the UK.
Personnel:
Robert King - vocals
Paul Research - guitars
John Mackie - bass
Steve McLaughlin - drums
