Scars On 45

Scars on 45, a British indie pop band formed in Leeds in 2007, stitches together melodic, heartfelt tunes that have captured listeners worldwide. The band's core consists of Danny Bemrose (vocals/guitar), Aimee Driver (vocals), David "Nova" Nowakowski (piano/keyboard), and Chris Durling (drums). They got their name in a somewhat whimsical fashion, inspired by an Emmylou Harris record that bore a scratch, leading to contemplations on how scars on a 45 RPM record can affect the music’s sound—a metaphor for life’s impact on their music.

Their journey began with substantial radio play in the US, leading to a contract with Chop Shop Records, a label known for connecting artists with television and movie soundtracks. Not surprisingly, Scars on 45 has found considerable success in this arena, with their songs featured in several high-profile TV shows, boosting their visibility. Their discography showcases an impressive evolution from their early EPs like "Give Me Something" and "Heart On Fire" to full-length albums such as their self-titled debut and "Safety In Numbers". Their style blends introspective lyricism with catchy hooks, defined by harmonious interplays between male and female vocals. With each release, including their charming take on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and the introspective depth of albums like "Satellite Town" and the "Rarities - EP 1", Scars on 45 continues to enchant audiences, proving their enduring appeal in the evolving landscape of indie pop music.
