Founded and formed by guitarist Ron Freschi (Babylon A.D.) and lead singer Jeff Winslow, they have compiled an 11 song album of hard hitting Rock N Roll, that showcases Ron&#8217;s signature sound that helped forge the music and sound of Babylon A.D.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">The album UGLY ON THE INSIDE comes out July 21st on Kivel Records. Pre order your copy at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kivelrecords.com\/store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.kivelrecords.com\/store<\/a>\u00a0the first 100 copies come with a generous goody bag of limited edition items, including a signed CD! Making this release even more exciting for us, Kivel Records has partnered up with BraveWords Records to service the digital distribution of the album. We love our friends at BraveWords Records and couldn&#8217;t be happier with them running with the ball! The first single, UGLY ON THE INSIDE can be purchased and streamed at Bandcamp, along with 24 bit hi-res digital pre-orders for the entire album. Visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bravewordsrecords.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bravewordsrecords.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">This isn&#8217;t the same old same old for Ron though, and it certainly isn&#8217;t his \u00a0experimental art album. This is an extension of what people have come to expect and love about his playing and songwriting. Where he is pushing his boundaries, but without changing who he is. Teamed with Jeff, this is a dynamic rock n roll duo that brings it. Joining Ron and Jeff is Dylan Soto on drums (Babylon A.D.). He brings his hard hitting energy and entertaining live show to the band, which will no doubt help keep the beat for this outfit. After the album was completed the band needed a bass player that would be able to match the needed energy on stage with the rest of the group. Enter seasoned bass player and fan favorite, Jaron Gulino (Lynch Mob\/Heavens Edge) helping finalize the line up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">Scar Chamber&#8217;s\u00a0sound is a dark and edgy Rock N Roll rollercoaster ride for fans of bands like Babylon A.D., Lynch Mob and Harem Scarem. Get in, buckle up, keep your head down and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default\">Follow the link to the band&#8217;s first video and title track from their upcoming album, UGLY ON THE INSIDE, which was Mixed and Mastered by Kivel Records fave producer, Ty Sims.
