HEADWOUND WAS FORMED BY GUITARIST/VOCALIST 'CRAIG NEWMAN' IN 1994. AFTER WRITING THE FIRST TWO SONGS IN A FLAT IN LEICESTER, 'MIND DAMNATION' & 'SUFFER JESUS'. LEE BEGGIE WAS BROUGHT IN TO PLAY BASS. REHEARSING & WRITING CONTINUED THROUGH 1994. LATER THAT YEAR THE 4 TRACK DEMO 'PARTY'S OVER' WAS RECORDED AT BEATROUTE STUDIO'S IN LOUGHBOROUGH. 1000's OF TAPE'S WERE MAILED AND HANDED OUT FREE THROUGHOUT 1995. THE FIRST SHOW AT 'THE CHARLOTTE' IN LEICESTER ALSO TOOK PLACE.SOON AFTER, 'WOUND FAN 'PAUL TAYLOR' JOINED THE RANKS AS SECOND GUITARIST. WRITING AND GIGGING CONTINUED THROUGH 1995/1996 MAINLY IN NOTTINGHAM & LEICESTER. IN 1997 LEE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE BAND AND FEZ (TONY FERROL) WAS ASKED TO JOIN THE RANKS. WITH THE LINE-UP STRONGER THAN EVER! CONSTANT GIGGING CARRIED ON THROUGH 1997 AND THE LIVE DEMO TAPE 'SWALLOW THIS' WAS RECORDED AND SENT OUT WORLD-WIDE TO RAVE REVIEWS! THE BAND ALSO WENT INTO BEATROUTE STUDIO'S TO RECORD A SIX TRACK DEMO. UNFORTUNATELY, THE UNTITLED DEMO WAS NEVER USED.IN 1998, THE DIRECTION OF THE BAND WAS IN ARRAY AND FEZ WAS REPLACED BY A MORE TECNO SYNTH BASS. AFTER MONTHS OF WRITING AND REHEARSING. THE NEW TECNO HARDCORE HEADWOUND RECORDED A COUPLE OF DEMO'S, ONE VERY HEAVY TECNO STYLED 'CALIBRE 45'. THE NEW 'WOUND PLAYED A VERY TROUBLED NEW SOUND SHOW AND THE NEW STYLE WAS BINNED BY CRAIG. CRAIG AND PAUL DID A FEW MORE SHOW'S USING THE OLD SONG'S BUT DISBANDED IN 1999.IN THE YEAR 2000, CRAIG WAS APPROACHED BY LONG TIME FRIEND 'JAMIE ALDERMAN' TO REFORM THE 'WOUND WITH HIM ON BASS, CRAIG ON GUITAR/VOCALS AND USING THE USUAL POUNDING DRUM MACHINE. JUST HALF OF THE OLD SET WAS RESURECTED AND FOR A SHORT TIME 'JAMES KENDERICK' WAS ADDED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON REAL DRUMS. A HAND FULL OF GIG'S WERE PLAYED AND THE BAND ONCE AGAIN RECORDED A DEMO 'REJECTS' AT BEATROUTE STUDIO'S. THE DEMO WAS NEVER USED ON IT'S OWN, BUT ALL FOUR SONG'S WERE INCLUDED IN A MASSIVE COMPILATION TAPE CALLED 'TOTAL HATE'. THE TAPE INCLUDED LIVE TRACKS AND NEVER HEARD BEFORE DEMO TRACKS. A COPY WAS SENT TO KERRANG! AND IT RECIEVED AN AWESOME REVIEW! 'HAIL HEADWOUND' WAS ALSO PRINTED IN THE CONTENTS PAGE OF THE MAGAZINE!IN 2001/2002, HEADWOUND HAD PLAYED ALL OVER THE UK AND THING'S WERE LOOKING GOOD. THEY ADDED A DJ, 'PAUL BACON' TO MAKE THE SOUND MORE DIFFERENT AND TO ADD MORE SAMPLES. A COUPLE OF THE MADDEST GIG'S WERE PLAYED WITH ONE BEING RECORDED IN LEICESTER AND RELEASED ON A CD CALLED ' AUDIO NASTY'. THE BAND ALSO RECORDED A BONUS TRACK FOR THE LIVE CD CALLED 'SLICE UP YOUR WIFE'. THIS WOULD LATER BECOME A 'WOUND ANTHEM AT LIVE SHOW'S. UNFORTUNATELY, EVERY BAND ON THE PLANET STARTED USING A DJ SO THAT IDEA WAS BINNED.IN 2003, A REAL DRUMMER WAS ONCE AGAIN ADDED IN THE SHAPE OF 'MATT MAYHEM'. CRAIG'S SISTER 'CHEZ' (CHERYL JENKINS) WAS ADDED ON SECOND GUITAR TO BEEF THINGS UP. GIGGING ALL OVER THE UK CONTINUED THROUGHOUT 2003/2004 BUT JAMIE STARTED TO LOSE INTEREST SO CHEZ MOVED ONTO PLAYING BASS.SO WITH LINE-UP NEWMAN666 (CRAIG NEWMAN), MATT MAYHEM (MATT ALLEN) AND CHEZ (CHERYL JENKINS), HEADWOUND HAD TAKEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRRECTION IN SOUND. SO AFTER MANY HOURS OF THOUGHT. THE BAND CHANGED THERE NAME TO '1000 SCARS'.IN 2006, JAMIE WAS ASKED TO COME BACK AND JOIN NEWMAN666 AND LEIGH (EX-SARCASM) TO DO AN ORIGINAL HEADWOUND SET SHOW. TWO SHOW'S WERE PLAYED TO RAVE REVIEWS! ONE IN LEICESTER AND ONE IN BURTON ON TRENT.NOW IN 2008!
