Scary People release EP ‘Chicago!’
Scary People have released their second EP Chicago! via RedRoom Recordings and is available to buy on the band's official Bandcamp page.
The band demonstrate from start to finish their raw, take no prisoners brand of rock and roll with the intense opening title track ‘Chicago!’ leading a glorious assault on your speakers.
If Smoke showcased a band that were honing and developing their sound, then Chicago! takes that sound and confidently pulverises you until you are begging for more. Scary People are a powerhouse of technical prowess, with tunes that force you to intently listen, with few moments of quiet reflection - each track ups the ante until explosive closing track ‘Crush The Bug’ as it culminates in a shower of pure, unadulterated foot-stomping noise.
To give fans a taste of the upcoming EP, the band released two free tracks, 'Crush The Bug' and title track 'Chicago', which you can stream and download from our SoundCloud page.

Born from the partnership between two tour technicians, Scary People had only one week to form a band and rehearse a set before their first gig at a sold out show in Dundee. Rising to the task, Dan Forouhar (guitar/vocals) and Scott Anderson (drums) called upon close friends, Steven Anderson (guitar/vocals), Jamie Brown (bass) and Troy Lynch (guitar), to join them to prepare for a show that would immediately gain them an impressive crowd response and, since then, a dedicated following.
Having recorded and produced both EPs independently, Scary People maintain their fiercely independent and strictly DIY ethic towards all of their creative outlets; including promoting their own shows, directing their own videos and printing their merchandise by hand. They’ve already gained outstanding coverage from the likes of Artrocker Magazine (who are streaming the EP in full), Jim Gellatly in the Scottish Sun, The Skinny, BBC Introducing, and a UK Artist Of The Week feature on the US website The Vinyl District, as well as performing live with the likes of The Cribs.
Chicago! is available now via RedRoom Recordings and is available to buy on the band's official Bandcamp page.
