British alt-rock ensemble
Scars on 45 make yearning, melodic pop that combines the big guitar rock of
Oasis with the melodic, country-influenced sound of
Fleetwood Mac. Formed in Bradford, Yorkshire around 2007,
Scars on 45 began as a duo after former football-mates, singer/songwriter
Danny Bemrose and bassist
Stuart Nichols, started writing songs together. Eventually the band expanded to include keyboardist David Nowakowski, vocalist
Aimee Driver, and drummer
Chris Durling. While the group developed a local following, it wasn't until their song "Beauty's Running Wild" was used in a 2009 episode of the CBS television drama CSI:New York that
Scars on 45 caught the attention of the wider music industry. In 2011, buoyed by that success and a record deal with the Chop Shop label,
Scars on 45 released two EPs, including
Give Me Something and
Heart on Fire, the latter's title cut appeared on the Grey’s Anatomy, Vol. 4 soundtrack. A year later, the band released their self-titled debut album featuring the single "Heart on Fire." In 2014,
Scars on 45 returned with their sophomore full-length album,
Safety in Numbers, featuring the single, "Crazy for You." ~ Matt Collar
