Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway (previously known as just Scars on Broadway) is an American rock band founded by Daron Malakian of the metal band System of a Down, who also became the sole member of the band. The band's self-titled debut album was released in July 2008.
In late 2008, the band entered a hiatus, with Malakian citing a lack of enthusiasm and "his heart not being into touring" as the primary reasons for the band's cessation. Despite reforming with various line-up changes in 2010 and 2012 and announcing a second album, the band ceased any further announcements by 2013. In April 2018, Malakian announced their second album titled Dictator, which was released in July 2018.
Scars on Broadway is an alternative metal/experimental rock band which formed in 2003 in Los Angeles, California, United States.
Scars On Broadway shows us a nu-rock band in its infancy, with some potential if driven in the right direction.
