AFTER THE SCARS (New Songs Up!)

About Me

THE BAND AFTER THE SCARS OF NW ARKANSAS IS AN EFFECTUAL MODERN ROCK BAND THAT FORMED IN FEBRUARY OF 2008 WITH THE VISION AND PASSION OF TAKING A UNIQUE AND DISTINCTIVE SOUND TO THE MASSES. WRITING, ORCHESTRATING, AND RECORDING ALL ORIGINAL MUSIC, WITH A HARD EDGE, INCREDIBLE DYNAMICS, MELODIC, MEMORABLE CHORUSES, AND MORE HOOKS THAN YOUR LOCAL BAIT SHOP, THEY'RE WELL ON THERE WAY TO ACCOMPLISHING THAT GOAL. THE MEMBERS OF AFTER THE SCARS ARE A DIVERSE GROUP OF GUYS THAT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AN ORIGINAL SET OF SONGS, VARYING IN TEXTURE, BUT FITTING TOGETHER IN A UNIFIED PACKAGE THAT HAS BECOME THEIR SOUND. JOSH HICKS OF NW ARKANSAS FRONTS UP THE BAND, DISPLAYING CREATIVE VOCAL EXPRESSION AND THE KIND OF STAGE PRESENCE YOU WOULD EXPECT AT A HIGH ENERGY ROCK SHOW. DON NICHOLS, ORIGINALLY FROM MARYLAND, BRINGS A STRONG, UNIQUE GUITAR STYLE AS WELL AS CLEAN, MOLODIC VOCALS. ROBIN VARGA OF NW ARKANSAS SPECIALIZES IN AMBIENT SOUNDS AND TIGHT GUITAR RIFFING, ADDING THE FATNESS YOU WOULD EXPECT IN A POWERFUL ROCK SOUND. STEVE PRUITT, ORIGINALLY FROM MISSOURI, BRINGS AN UNCONVETIONAL STYLE OF BOTH DRUMMMING AND SONG WRITING TO THE MIX, AND ALSO CONTRIBUTES VOCALLY. NATHAN CANTORNA OF SILOAM SPRINGS FROMS THE BACKBONE OF THE ENSEMBLE, WITH ROOTS IN PROGRESSIVE METAL, HE SLAPS THE BASS LIKE IT STOLE SOMETHING! FROM CREATIVE, MELODIC, AND DOWN RIGHT COOL GUITAR WORK WITH UNCONVENTIONAL TUNINGS, TO OFF-BEAT FUNK DRUMMING WITH A PUNK ROCK TWIST, STRONG VOCAL EXPRESSION, AND SOLID, CHEST POUNDING BASS LINES, AFTER THE SCARS IS A ROCK SHOW THAT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE!!!
