Formed in mid-2001, Scar released their debut album in 2003. The 13 tracks were produced by well-respected local producer, David Vella (Philip Boa, Beangrowers). The end result was very encouraging - the first single "Time to Know" topped the Maltese radio charts and was given top billing on Italian radio station RAI UNO, also being used for three months as a signature tune for one of their programmes. Scars second track "Calling Out" had an even better response, remaining on local radio charts for over 12 weeks, whilst also being play-listed on an American radio station for over three months.

Scar released their album during a surprise live performance on a pavement in front of the biggest music store in Malta. This was the start of Scars reputation for their outstanding live performances, earning the band respect and establishing them firmly in the local scene - the inclusion of the Didjeridoo in one of their songs made audiences rather curious!

Apart from various local and some foreign TV and radio appearances, Scar have covered most of the pubs and clubs, and enjoying a good and constant response from the crowd whilst gathering more admirers. This led them to obtaining main slots at major festivals on the Maltese islands, including those organised featuring various foreign artists including Faithless. Scar were selected from over 50 other European bands to obtain a main slot in a festival organised in Poland, performing to over 15,000 people! ... not bad for their first overseas performance.

In January 2005, Scar signed a distribution deal with Cargo Records (Germany) to be able to push the album overseas and helping them to get more exposure abroad. With various award nominations and a Best Album Production award for 2002/2003 up their sleeve, Scar have obtained very positive feedback and reviews from the local and foreign media.
