SCARY KIDS were at the vanguard of the post-hardcore boom of the 2000's, not just as pioneers of a sound that lay the foundations for so many bands that followed, but also for their incredible live shows which created a community that grew into a massive scene.
Such is the lasting legacy and love for the band that when they have reunited after the tragic passing of Tyson Stevens, such heavy hitting legends as Craig Mabbit (Escape The Fate), Vic Fuentes (Pierce The Veil), Brandon Bolmer (Chiodos), Cove Reber (Saosin), Kurt Travis (Dance Gavin Dance), Spencer Charnas (Ice Nine Kills) and Jesse Cash (Erra) have all stepped up to the task.
This November will see the six piece band, now fronted by Albert Schweizer (violent New Breed) hit the road in Australia in celebration of their defining and appropriately self-titled second album.
Joining them, as very special guests, are another of the scene's legends: CALIFORNIA'S A SKYLIT DRIVE. With their unique signature sound - cinematic melody, layers of intricate guitar and full force vocals - ASD are a perfect balance of aggressive screamo and the pop leaning aspects of emo.
10 years after the release of their last studio album, A Skylit Drive return with the flames well and truly reignited.
