Where Pop Gets
Punched in the Face.
Who Are These Idiots?
The Scary Loud is a Toronto-based band smashing together heavy guitars, sugary melodies, and darkly desperate lyrics—all sung with pretty harmonies and a smirk. Born from punk and hardcore roots, they toss the rulebook, crank the amps, and live by one mantra: "I'm bored, fuck what bands are supposed to be."
The band, founded by producer Scotty Komer (Silverstein, Protest the Hero), mixes pop-punk energy with sludge-thick tones and emotional chaos. Think Weezer on a bender after a Wes Anderson marathon—emo kids on vintage motorcycles, daring the world to flinch.
Their debut album, Don’t Miss… The Scary Loud pairs major-key anthems with metal-grade distortion. Scotty’s raw vocals and fuzz-drenched riffs are backed by Connor Lovat-Fraser’s punchy basslines and harmonies, Joe Baldasio’s sweet-and-sour lead guitar, and Matt McCausland’s thunderous drums—pure chaos with a sugar high.
Live, they blend rock show and absurd theatre: sketch-style banter, fake fights, fake breakdowns, and genuine laughs—half comedy act, half sonic riot. Their shows are unpredictable, immersive, and a little unhinged.
Lyrically, The Scary Loud hides razor blades in bubblegum. Songs like “The Rumour’s True” explore twisted, uncomfortable themes beneath the pop hooks. It’s less bravery, more apathy—and that manipulation is the point. You’ll catch yourself singing along before realizing the lyrics are gut-punches.
In a sea of try-hard cool, The Scary Loud is loud, weird, and catchy—an unapologetic mess for fans who like their pop smart, rock unhinged, and shows unforgettable.
