Former Mutiny Within frontman Chris Clancy and Sacred Mother Tongue guitarist Andy James recently revealed details of an exciting new project. Accompanied by Sacred Mother Tongue’s former rhythm section – drummer Lee Newell and Bassist Craig Daws - and guitarist Daniel Woodyer, Wearing Scars deliver a refreshing blast of modern rock, mixing heavy, syncopated grooves, glorious riffs, Andy’s signature shred and Chris’s angelic, soaring vocals.

Wearing Scars have launched a brand new video for the track “Stand Alone”, taken from their debut album, A Thousand Words, which will be released via Candyman Records on July 24th.

Singer Chris Clancy explains: "“Stand Alone” explores that time when you have to find your feet again after being knocked down. The war within your mind as you let go of the past and dauntingly stare into an uncertain future.”

“The concept of Wearing Scars started as an idea I had on the way home from the pub one night”, explains Chris. “To have the concept evolve into a band and album is really incredible. Some of these songs were written over 4 years ago and never reached their potential until I met Andy and he helped take them out of their shell and turn them into something really special. For the first time in my career I'm doing the music I want to do, the way I want to do it.”

The band have recently announced their first ever live show, at London’s Black Heart on July 28th, which sold out immediately.
