Hole In The Sky

SCAR THE CROW are an alternative/grunge/rock trio from the Midlands, comprised of Tom Cox (guitar), Jack Groom (drums) and Matt Preston (bass, vocals). For a small unit, this three-piece manages to produce a big sound, offering a grungy vibe with filthy guitars and darkly-nurtured melodies. First impressions are often misleading, and delving further into the music reveals a wide array of tastes and styles, from punchy riffs to bluesy vocals and jazz-style drums.
Scar The Crow have received both local and national airplay on Midlands Metalheads Radio, BRfm and Total Biker FM, a station dedicated to the finest rock, punk and metal. The band have also made a small but impressive impact on the live circuit in the Midlands, including a slot with much-lauded metal/funk act Spirytus and a headline event sponsored by Midlands Metalheads. Each show garners more exposure and wider recognition, and the modest amount of praise they have received so far has been extremely positive.
Their live set does much to capture the energy and enthusiasm of youth, bringing the sound and style of the alternative/grunge movement right up to date. Guitarist Cox said, “We wear our influences on our sleeve – Kerbdog and Alice in Chains are obvious – but we don't forget where we are today. We're not interested in repeating the past; we want to push it forward.”
Scar The Crow have released one EP to date – 'Wasting The Day' – which offers a mere glimpse of their potential. Songs such as 'Live For The Night (The Creature)' indulge the band's taste for layered guitars and progressive riffs, punctuated with angst-ridden vocals. 'Into The Rain' brings their grunge influences to the fore, but also shows their keen sense of melody; Preston's vocal is delivered with both passion and restraint. Meanwhile, 'Determined' offers no such compromises with its dirge-like riff and a hint of Sabbath.
“Their song ‘Determined’ is just that – determined to prove a point and get some attention.” – www.themusicmag.com

Their latest single, 'Hole In The Sky', was recorded at the Old Smithy, the prestigious studio that has hosted such luminaries as Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Robert Plant. The single is available as a free download from SoundCloud.
