More on Scars on 45 [Courtesy of Chop Shop/Atlantic]:
Scars on 45 spent their early days together in a small studio space in Bradford, writing and recording a series of songs that brilliantly blended insistent melodies, uplifting energy, and enchanting co-ed vocals courtesy of singers Danny Bemrose and Aimee Driver. After a number of tracks were featured on such TV series as The Cleaner and CSI: New York, Scars on 45 were personally signed to Chop Shop Records by label founder Alexandra Patsavas, famed music supervisor for such films and TV shows as Twilight, Gossip Girl, and Grey’s Anatomy.
Scars on 45’s acclaimed Chop Shop/Atlantic debut EP, “GIVE ME SOMETHING,” was released in January 2011 and quickly proved a sensation with its title track receiving Top 5 airplay at Triple A radio outlets nationwide (peaking at #3 and placing the band among such like-minded artists as Adele, Coldplay, and Atlantic’s own Death Cab for Cutie). “Give Me Something” remains a popular favorite, currently standing tall at #3 on Amazon.com’s “Best Songs of 2011 So Far” listing.
Having spent much of the past year on the road — including multiple radio-sponsored events and music festivals such as Austin, Texas’ world-famous South by Southwest — Scars on 45 is now slated to unveil its much-anticipated full-length debut album in early 2012.
Scars on 45 is made up of Danny Bemrose (vocals/guitar), Aimee Driver (vocals), David “Nova” Nowakowski (keyboards), Stuart Nichols (bass), and Chris Durling (drums).
