| The
Scars made their first appearance in October 1977. Originally
playing
Blitzkrieg Bop
like a thousand other hopefuls they clearly had that indefinable
something that set them apart. Their style was a mixture of glam, art
and punk not towerblocks and R&B. Their first single was far removed
from punk music wise, but in those shards of trebly spikey guitar it
bristled with its energy and attitude. Unfortunately the rigid punk
straightjacket that so often preached individualism on one hand while
denying anyone who dared to be different did for The Scars at home.
Ahead of their time its ironic that they would have probably remained
undiscovered if it hadn't been for punk. Sadly the goods promised by
their early gigs, debut single and songs failed to materialise.
Another story of what could have been.
