Hailing from the Florida panhandle, Pardon The Scars deliver a tapestry of melodic, aggressive hard rock with infectious melodies and arrangements. Their sonic signature is a blend of alternative, progressive and Nu-Metal, seamlessly interwoven with their modern hard rock attack. PTS puts every ounce of themselves into not only their songwriting, but their live performance as well. Such dedication to their craft is evidence that pain can transcend into something more - a perfectly imperfect hard rock band known as Pardon The Scars.
​
Just as PTS began making final preparations and gearing up to unleash their debut single, 2020 trapped the world into a state of quarantine against our will. With many uncertainties lying in wait, the band continued to push forward with the release of "Caged Inside" in early 2021 on all major media platforms. Pardon The Scars teamed up with Atlanta's own Mixing and Audio Engineer, Ken Lanyon, most known for his past work with bands like Shinedown, Needtobreathe, and Crossfade on the single.
Pardon The Scars joined forces with TLG Entertainment/INgrooves to launch a successful PR campaign for Caged Inside. The single and the bands first lyric video was picked up and premiered by Sofa King Cool Magazine. Caged Inside was well received and quickly gained traction, hitting radio airwaves around the country. Regionally the single hit #1 on the Mississippi based radio show The Sound's Dirty Thirty Charts. Caged Inside was inducted into their Hall of Fame after consecutively beating numerous other regional acts.
​
In November 2022 PTS released their follow up single "Purge" on all streaming platforms along with their first official music video. Pardon The Scars uses our personal struggles with mental health and self-discovery to create captivating rock/metal music that lets our fans know that they’re not alone in their fight to survive. “Purge” is an aggressive and energetic track written from the perspective of one facing and purging their demons in order to overcome them. The haunting melodies and cathartic lyrics are sure to be relatable to many listeners. “Purge” would be an excellent addition to Kickass Metal and Rock Hard.
​
With no plans on slowing down, Pardon The Scars is actively networking, writing new material, and building their brand of aggressive, deep-cut rock and roll.
