The Pretty Scars emerged onto the scene in the Fall of 2003, and have since become a fixture in both the Riverside and Los Angeles rock and roll circuits. They've been described as "Brooding, and claustrophobic," "fearfully dark, and sweetly melodic" and as "a soiled knife, draped in the finest velvet."
Who are these dark-eyed lads? Are they devilish miscreants, tempting the innocents with their songs of decadence and desire? Or are they something more...sinister? They will not say. But they invite you into their parlor, to find out. But be warned; you may find more than you were bargaining for...
The prettyscars splintered in the winter of 2005 and went their seperate ways.
My Name is Thom and I use to sing for the band. This is my page and I will be keeping everyone updated on my new projects.
Stop in and say hello.
