The Scandals

The Scandals are a punk rock band from New Jersey. We are four guys who spend more time in our van than our own beds. The Scandals were founded in 2004 and started off with numerous demos and EP’s. Our first full length, The Sound of Your Stereo, was released in 2010 on Skeleton Crew Records. It is currently out of print and is in the process of being repressed. We recorded our next EP, Trenchknife, with Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls released in 2012. We also released an EP called Riot on the Dancefloor: The Story of Randy Now and City Gardens a split 7” with New Mexico’s Stabbed in Back the same year.

In 2013 we were chosen to be a part of the Red Bull Sound Select program, which is a continuing partnership between the band and members of the Red Bull Music team. We have played numerous music festivals such as SXSW in Austin in 2013, Myfest in Berlin in 2014, CMJ in New York City in 2012, Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas in 2011, Skate and Surf Fest in 2014 and Bamboozle in 2008 and 2009.

From March to May of 2014 we embarked on our first European tour via City Rat Booking and Gunner Records supporting Time Machines - a European only full length record. We are currently working on our second full length and are in search for its home. We are looking at a tentative release by early 2015. To sum it up, The Scandals are a touring band. We have a van, it’s registered, and we’re ready to roll. When the band is not on the road, Jared is out with an acoustic guitar screaming his way through bars, living rooms, venues, parking lots and record stores because that’s where this music lives; on the road.
