Scars on Broadway

Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway

A manic, melodic sprint through Los Angeles. Jagged guitar riffs collide with vintage synths and a taunting, nasal vocal delivery that feels perpetually restless.

It's like System of a Down went on a 48-hour bender in a vintage synth shop.

A high-strung, manic energy that oscillates between taunting aggression and sun-drenched melodicism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the jagged, palm-muted verse of Stoner Hate into its soaring, melodic chorus.

The haunting, vintage organ melody that anchors the melancholic atmosphere of Babylon.

The frantic, punk-infused energy of They Say that serves as a high-octane closing statement.
